  abstract = {At some time during the Ayutthaya period (1350-1767), Thai poets borrowed and transformed the Indic chan meters into Thai meters. Although commissioned in 1842 to provide examples of these meters for Wat Chetuphon in Bangkok, Prince Paramanuchit Chinorot (1790-1853) composed only fifty examples for the corpus of sixty-one meters. Critics assume that the Prince recorded the most popular meters and then added his own favorites without distinguishing between the two groups. From a survey of the major and minor chan classics, this study determines which meters the poets favored most and presents structural and aesthetic reasons for their preference. The study also reveals that because of specific aesthetic trends, a second group of the meters became an active part of the Thai corpus after 1913.},
