Guest guest Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 " Most of the Chandi Path is written in Anustup Chanda which means there are 32 syllables to the verse. There are 16 syllables to the line. There are 8 syllables to the half line. We could breathe at the quarter of a verse, the half of a verse, or we could breathe at the end of a full verse. Once you have got the rhythm, the feeling, the bhava, the mathematical formula down, your knowledge of Sanskrit will flow because it is just a mathematical formula through which we are regulating our breath. The 4th step of the eight steps of yoga is pranayama and we are controlling our breath through the pronunciation of mantras.
