![]() What is the difference between a Shlok, a Mantr and a Rik ? I have some questions which someone with better command of Sanskrit/Vedas can possibly answer - Can we call the couplets or verses (which are part of a sukta) in Rig Veda Shlokas? can we call them Mantras? are they called Rik ?. ![]() I could not graduate beyond "Ramah kandukain seh kridanti" and "Vrikshe patrani pattanti" ( I think these words are grammatically incorrect Sanskrit for "Ram's playing with the ball" and "Leaves fall from the tree").

The tracks are actually recitations of Sanskrit originals and Hindi adaptations of Nasadiya sukta and Hiranyagarbha sukta. ![]() I did some googling to dig out the mp3s and some info on the tracks. they had a distinct sound and aura about them it was the story of Indian history, as told by Jawharlal Nehru in his book "Discovery of India". ![]() in those days, when history classes were the most boring things, it made history seem interesting to me. One of my favourite TV serials, it was first telecast when I was in class 5 or 6. ![]()
