Shloka or śloka (Sanskrit: श्लोकśloka, from the root श्रुśru, lit.'hear') in a broader sense, according to Monier-Williams's dictionary, is "any verse or stanza; a proverb, saying"; but in particular it refers to the 32-syllable verse, derived from the Vedicanuṣṭubh metre, used in the Bhagavad Gita and many other works of classical Sanskrit literature.
