Revision as of 12:10, 26 November 2018
, 12:10, 26 November 2018added a new heading
The modes of chanting prescribe the basics like how much time one has to take for reciting a word, how to regulate breathing while reciting so that required vibrations are produced in the specific parts of the body which will yield pure word-sound. That preservation of the vedas was the aim of different पाठपद्धति-s || pathapaddhatis is given by many scholars. According to Dr. Bhandarkar<ref name=":0" /><blockquote>''"The object of these different arrangements is simply the most accurate preservation of the sacred text."(Indian Antiquary, 1874)''</blockquote>In Rigvedic India by Shri Avinash Chandra Das,<blockquote>''"These hymns, however, were not committed to writing on papyrus, palm-leaves, or baked clay-bricks, but to human memory carefully cultivated for the purpose and were handed down from generation to generation without the loss of even a single word or syllable."''</blockquote>

== पाठः || Patha ==
Shabdakalpadruma refers to Patha (पाठः) as विधिना वेदस्याभ्यसनम् । Vidhina Veda Abhyasana or methodical practice of the Vedas, which refers to the traditional chanting of the Vedas in a specific method as instructed by the Gurus. Since the guru-shishya parampara was the primary mode of transmission of Vedas शिष्याणामध्यापनम् । teaching to the students also constitutes Patha.
Veda Patha consists of recitation of specific mantras with the prescribed intonation, pitch and matras etc according to the specifications, a few of which are mentioned, in [[Vaidika Bhasha Lakshana (वैदिकभाषालक्षणम्)|Vaidika Bhasha Lakshanas]] which are significantly different from the rules applied in Classical Samskrit.
