Vedic Metre in its Historical Development c19.s7.1

c19.s7.1

[The great majority of the hymns are characterized by an approximation of the trimeter rhythm to that of dimeter verse, as described in § 213. The name of Vasiṣṭha and the characteristic refrain verse are however found even in the hymns which have not this metrical type, and are therefore probably of a different period: see § 107.]
