The Anukramaṇī (, ) (also '') are the systematic indices of Vedic hymns recording poetic meter, content, and traditions of authorship.
==Anukramanis of the Rigveda== Six Anukramanis of the Rigveda are ascribed to Shaunaka: Anuvakanukramani, Arshanukramani, Chandonukramani, Devatanukramani, Padanukramani and Suktanukramani. Except the Anuvakakramani'', other Anukramanis survive only in quotations found in the writings of Shadgurashishya.
