The number of padas or words in the Rig-veda-sanhitâ is stated as 153,826, which gives an average of between 14 to 15 words to each verse. Another computation brings the number of the charchâ-padas (i. e. words which are used in the Kramapâtha, omitting the repeated passages or galitas) to 110,704, and the number of syllables to 432,000.
