Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

A Padyam is a structured poem governed by 'Chandassu' (prosody), requiring strict adherence to 'Ganas' (metrical feet) and 'Yati-Prasa' (alliteration/rhyme).

  • Every Padyam must follow a specific 'Chandassu' (meter) like Utpalamala or Champakamala.
  • The 'Yati' (caesura) must occur at a specific syllable count in each line.
  • The 'Prasa' (second syllable rhyme) must be consistent across all four lines.
Laghu (l) + Guru (u) + Ganas (e.g., Ma, Ya, Ra, Sa, Ta, Ja, Bha, Na) = Padyam
