Dear Madhav,Happy birthday, and nice to see how not only time but also your poetic flow is unstoppable... and nice to see a change of metre.The "sing-song" melody normally superimposed and superimposable on any sloka is well known.Does anyone know how a verse in the Aaryaa meter is traditionally sung or chanted? Any sample accessible online?Best regards,Jan HoubenOn Fri, 15 Mar 2019 at 14:32, Madhav Deshpande via INDOLOGY <indology@list.indology.info> wrote:_______________________________________________अविरतकालगतौ मे वयसो वृद्धिर्भवत्यनायासात् ।अभिनन्दनानि सुहृदामवर्धयन् मानसे मोदम् ।।In the unstoppable course of time, the age goes on increasing without any effort.
