Any art that exhibits skills must be judged by the
difficulties encountered while performing it. This
applies to sports such as gymnastics, diving or figure
skating. It is also true for bandha kavitva. So,
what is the degree of difficulty in this?
Step 1. Count all the number of letters in the poem.
Let us say, it is N.
Step 2. Count the number of letters that are common,
say n.
Step 3. The ratio n / (N-n) expressed as a percentage
is the degree of difficulty. One can add an additional
number to the numerator if there are other special
difficulties such as words that are spelled backwards.
If this number is above 50, the exercise is indeed
difficult.
The degree of difficulty is called kashTA.nka.
For the gOmUtrikAba.ndha, it is in the
thirties.
Here is a shlOka from pAdukAsahasram in gOmUtrikAba.ndham.
surAsurArcitA dhanyA
tu.nga ma.ngala pAlikA
carAcarAshritA mAnyA
ra.ngapu.ngava pAdukA
(Pleased by being worshipped by the dEvAs and rAkshasAs,
Protector of the great and auspicious things,
Held in esteem by the moving and permanent ones,
O the pAdukAs of God ra.nganAtha!, I worship thee!)
Kindly view this in Courier fonts. The
ba.ndha will look like this.
su su rci dha tu ma la li
rA rA tA nyA .nga .nga pA kA
ca ca shri mA ra pu va du
The degree of difficulty for this is 33.3%.
kAlidAsa used yamaka in his raghuva.msha quite a
bit. A sarga in the su.ndarakA.nDa has aMtyAnuprAsa.
I reversed the chapters of kirAtArjunIya
and shishupAlavadha in my earlier message.
The chitrapaddhati is present in ch 15 of ka and
ch 19 of sv.
