about the poem I posted,'yemitini sepitivi kapitamu,' as follows:
"---To the best of my knowledge, this cannot be a 'sarva laghu
kandam'. First of all an exact 'sarva laghu kandam' doesn't exist
because 'kandam' by definition requires 'guruvu' at the end of
2nd and fourth padas. So, two guruvulu are mandatory minimum.---"
My quotation marks on the phrase "sarva laghu kandam" and the
drastically snipped off parenthetical note of my post, I thought
have conveyed my insignificant and meager knowledge of the subject,
a la chandassu in general, and the 'kanda' chandassu, in particular!
If it wasn't clear, I sincerely apologise for my idiocy.
Most sincerely,
