Syamala Rao garu,

As so many of us are interested in writing chando poetry and several
telusaers have recently expressed doubts about proper yatis here and there,
please explain how there is a yati maitri between ha and vA in
"harmyambuna nunDe bIda vADai yelamin". We are all interested in learning
and knowing more. Do you think there is yati maitri between hakaara and
vakaara or do you think the akaara in vA is a sandhi-generated one? Or
some other reason? In any case, it will help if you give examples from
well known poems?

Regards

Sridhara Rao
