Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Namaste all. A simple question on metre. Can some one help? What metre is the following familiar Sanskrit shloka?: yatra yatra raghunAtha-kIrtanaM tatra tatra kRRitamastakAnjaliM / bAshhpa-vAri-paripUrNa-locanaM mArutiM namata rAkshhasAntakaM // An allied question: What are the other metres with 11 syllables for each quarter? I know 'Indra-vajra' each quarter of which goes like: DA DA Da DA DA Da Da DA Da DA DA. An example would be: tvam-AdidevaH purushhaH purANaH (B.G. 11-38) I know also 'Raja-Hamsi' which goes like Da Da Da DA Da DA DA Da DA Da DA The only example that I know for this is Bhagavatam 10-31-1 to 18. #1 here goes: jayati tedhikaM janmanA vrajaH.
