RE:A question pertaining to classics [curiosity]

[Guest guest]

Curiously good question - the logic appears to be in the ease of recollection & reproduction of a verse....most of this verses are limited to four lines.....same like our vehicle number.....( though growing vehicles on road has changed the original system ) eye can catch & recollect with ease upto four digits.....more than that it is difficult.....this is as per scientific study.....

 

with regards,

All jyotish classics were written in verse form. Indeed, all scriptures if I am not mistaken.Anyone can shed some thoughts, light on that?Imagine if all scientific literature had to be written in verse? Including standard operating protocols, manuals, engineering texts and textbooks on accountancy -- and medicine and surgery? Although they say that a singing surgeon (while operating) may not be such a great idea!RR_._,_.___
