Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Dear All, There are atleast four meters used in the Chandi (maybe more...) The 32 syllables to the verse is anushtup and is the most commonly used one in the text. The 24 syllables to the verse is Gayatri and is used notably in the Rig Vedoktam Ratri Suktam. The 56 syllables to the verse is Vasanta-Tilaka and is used in the Sakradhi Stuti in chapter 4. The 44 syllables to the verses is Trishtub and is used in some parts of Chapter 11 - example - Rogana Sheshana ... If anyone else knows more on the meters in Chandi, it would be great to hear from you. Jai Chandi Nanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Apart from the ones you mentioned I know of only one other - Usnig 28 syllables to the verse. Gayatri I think represents morning. Usnig - Midday and Anushtup evening. Could you please say what Vasanta-Tilaka and Trishtub represent. Thanks Nandaji.
