Can anyone reply to this



________________________________________-
No I am not.
If you go through Sankaras Bhaja Govindam , we find beautiful rhyming of most of the lines in the last words.
For example Hitva and vidithva.
Rhyming concept is the same in all languages.

For example Jack and Jill
Went up the hill.
hill and Jill rhyme.

Likewise in Tamil rhyming is done at the start of sentences and sometimes at the end as above or sometimes even both.

Karka kasadara karpavai katrapin
Nirka atharku thaka.

In above Karka and Nirka rhyme beautifully . This is Thirukkural which even goes to the extent of having only 4 words in first line and 3 on the next. All these are 2 line verses. Such rules may be different but concept of rhyming is the same in Tamil, which is at least as old as Sanskrit.

I cant find a single rhyming line in Gita .



Best Regards,
Amar

There are different rules when it comes to classifying poems. Rhyme is
followed in English poetry not in Sanskrit. Sanskrit prosody employs the
rules of chanda-s.

You are confusing between english poetry and sanskrit poetry. Both have
different parameters of classification.
