I also often have problems receiving attachments in Indology messages. In this case I didn’t even receive the email with the recording. I too would be interested in hearing it. And like others, I second what David wrote. It is fascinating and instructive to see your English translation alongside the Sanskrit for many reasons, including your word choices in both languages.

At my side I could easily download (95k) and hear the recording (but I often have difficulty to get other attachments at Indology-messages which others seem to get without problems).

Hello Jan,

     Here is my recording of my verse in Āryā.  This is the general style of reciting Āryā in Maharashtra.  This meter was made popular in Marathi by a poet named Moropant [Mayūrakavi] during the Peshwa period.  He composed 108 different Rāmāyaṇas, and an entire Mahābhārata in Marathi using Āryā.

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,

In the unstoppable course of time, the age goes on increasing without any effort. However, the joy in my mind increased with the wishes from my friends.
