Generally the english word hymn refers to,?for an Indian mind, words of
praiseing the Lord through the scriptures and so it is a powerful spell(mantra
in sanskrit).
A stotra is also called a hymn in ordinary Sanskrit called classical language.
A lay man or even a scholar may not take the trouble of distinguishing the
stotra from hymn or eulogy or stuti and so on. please look at the content
seriously and view the matter as per ur taste.
Of course when it comes to vedanga the chandas namely the prosody there?are two
major types of languages?viz. vedic prosody and classical prosody. Again only
if a devotee wants to understand the patterns of prosody, he has to delve deep
into it and it never improves the reader's devotion but the curiosity to
compose such verses.
For ur kind information the V.S. Apte Sanskrit to English Dictionary gives us
in detail the metres in classical sanskrit at the last pages. If at all one
wants to learn prosody anyone can contact me by email:
rthirunaraya...@gmail.com?or mobile (+91)9786377018 Srirangam, India.
Sri Sankaracharya's stotras are varied in metres and they are interesting too.
example: shriisubrahmaNya bhujangam is in bhujanga-prayaatam metere?and the
pattern is like a?snake(serpent) moving in a zigzag motion.

To: sanskrit@cs.utah.edu

Namaskar,
Ever thankful am I to all of those who helped me understand the grammar of the
word shivaushadhi. I must once again admit that I am but a humble child in the
presence of the great intelligence of this community.
I am inquirying to better understand the classification of Stotras. It would be
most auspicious if anyone could assist me clarifying the differences &
definitions of the devotional hymns such as those of Adi Sankaracarya.
Am I correct to believe that the Kaalabhaiaravashtakam is called an Ashtakam
because Asta means 8 & it has 8 verses (plus the phalashruti)?
Does the term stotra define a hymn with specific number of verses, making it
different from an 8 versed Ashtakam Or does an Astakam fall under the category
of a Stotram?
I hope I am making sense, if not please pardon my ignorance.
If a Stotra is used as a sort of ?Umbrella Term? what are the requirements of a
hymn to become a stotra ? Are there ways to classify the different types of
hymns considered to be stotras? For instance in the same way that there are so
very many different types of Meters classified by chandas vedanga.
If I understand correctly the Vedas & even smriti texts follow the rules of
chandas but a stotra doesn't? I was hoping to discover if there was a way to
define the meters of a stotra & if there was an advanced classification system
that perhaps Adi Shankaracharya used to write his amazing hymns.
I trust that my inquiry is not to difficult to understand as I am having a hard
time comprehending the standards used for classification of devotional hymns &
the sacred texts.
I hope to utilize this information by amending it to a portion of my website
focused on helping individuals like myself, who have no guru or mandir outside
of the internet, understand the branches of vedanga via resources, references &
examples that I was not able to find elsewhere.
I think I understand the difference between Slokas, Stutis, Bhajans, (kirtans &
Zikrs which aren't hindu, or are they?) & Stotra's. I would love to make a
comprehensive layout / list that showed the differences & parallels between the
many beautiful ways to express divinity through sound & rhythm.
Thank you so much for your patience & for your time. Blessings to the divine
beings which make up this great community,
-Shivaushadhi-
