Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 brhati : great Or, brhati is a certain metre of thirty-six syllables. This does not contradict the word of the Kurma Pr., "Thou art the GAyatri among the metres" because Devi is both the metres. Hence there is no contradiction between the saying in the Bh.-gita [x.35], "I am Brhati- SAman among the Samans," and in the Kurma pr. "I am Jyestha-SAman among the SAmans" The Brhat-SAman is what is praised in the Rk beginning satvannah, etc. The JYestha-SAman is what is praised in the two Rks, "Udutyam and cirtam".
