Vedic Metre in its Historical Development c19.s1.52

c19.s1.52

O. I 127-139. [These hymns, outwardly similar, are very different in their internal structure. 127 and 129 are of very archaic character: on the other hand 136-139 are very regular. The later hymns are also marked by metres in which the dimeter verses greatly preponderate, and by occasional Bṛhatī and Triṣṭubh verses. The authorship is not known. See further § 201 ii.]
