[INDOLOGY] Sanskrit mnemonics?

[Christian Ferstl]

Dear all,

are there really no other mnemonics or are they perhaps too childish to 
post them on this list?  I also like to use the verse rāmo rājamaniḥ 
etc., but rather in order to recall the order and numbering of 
vibhaktis.
Is there a common word for "mnemonic" in Sanskrit?
