How It Works
This tool analyzes Sanskrit text based on the principles of Chandas (prosody).
- Syllabification: The text is first broken into its phonetic syllables (akс╣гaras).
- Weighting (Laghu/Guru): Each syllable is classified as either Laghu (light, 'L') or Guru (heavy, 'G') based on phonetic rules.
- A syllable is Guru (G) if its vowel is long (e.g., рдЖ, рдИ, рдК, рдП, рдР, рдУ, рдФ), or if it is followed by an Anusvara (ं), Visarga (ः), or a conjunct consonant (e.g., 'рдХ्рдд').
- Otherwise, it is Laghu (L).
- The option
P─Бd─Бnta Gurutreats the last syllable of any line as Guru by default, a common poetic convention.
- Gana Identification: For many meters (vс╣Ыttas), syllables are grouped into Ganas, which are sets of three. This tool identifies the standard eight ganas (e.g.,
ya, ma, ta, ra, ja, bha, na, sa). - Meter Matching: The resulting pattern of L/G weights and Ganas is compared against a database of known meters (like Anuс╣гс╣нubh, Vasantatilaka, etc.) to find the best match.
