| A doha is a couplet consisting of two lines, each of 24 instants ([[Sanskrit prosody|Matras]]). The rules for distinguishing light and heavy syllables is slightly different from [[Sanskrit]]. Each line has 13 instants in first part and 11 instants in the second. The first and third quarters of doha have 13 instants which must parse as 6-4-3.
