Sri Desikan's garuda Dandakam Respected Bhaagavathas, Humble prostrations. We are glad to see the srimukhams from many of the members of the group. Adiyen has been reading Sri Garuda dandakam for quite some time. It is seen from the introduction written by Sri Ramadesikacharyaswami in the chapter relating to the above Garuda dandakam in the book 'Desika stotraani' that the the dandakam consists of four paras and each para consists of 36 Ganaas and each Ganaa consists of three aksharas like ga, ru, da or ma, ki, la and so on, These ganaas are classified into ma gana and ra gana or laghu and guru (I think). It is stated that the first two ganaas in each para are laghu and the rest are guru. I have got doubts on the follwoing points. 1. How are the aksharas classified into ma gana and ra gana or laghu and guru? What is the definition? 2. How is a long compound word to be split up? How is a conjunct consonant to be treated? e.g., 1) kantithakunntavaikanntta 2) suparNa I would be thankful if any of the memers of the group clarifies. I think Sri Sadagopan swami would be able to bless me with his srimukham with a few illustrations. Dasoham, T.S.Rajagopalan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
