Dear bh. Konstantin,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

 

"Gangasahaya, the writer of Anvitartha Prakasa, counted all the words of

Srimad-Bhagavatam including the 'uvacas' and chapter endings, added them up

and divided by 32 to convert the whole Srimad-Bhagavatam into 'anustup'

verses. This is the standard way to count the number of verses. He did this

thrice and his calculation was short by 1 and half verses."

(Sri Tattva Sandarbha of Jiva Gosvami: Translation and commentary by Satya

Narayana dasa and Kundali dasa - Appendix Two p.390.)

 

ys.: Premamoya d.
