A question pertaining to classics [curiosity]

[Guest guest]

All jyotish classics were written in verse form. Indeed, all scriptures

if I am not mistaken.

 

Anyone can shed some thoughts, light on that?

 

Imagine if all scientific literature had to be written in verse?

Including standard operating protocols, manuals, engineering texts and

textbooks on accountancy -- and medicine and surgery? Although they say

that a singing surgeon (while operating) may not be such a great idea!

Dear Rohini ,

 

All scientific literature , books are indeed written in verse form today . None of these comes from outside our experience and all are extensions of our experience. Outsiders call it jargon.

Curiously good question - the logic appears to be in the ease of

recollection & reproduction of a verse....most of this verses are limited to

four lines.....same like our vehicle number.....( though growing vehicles on

road has changed the original system ) eye can catch & recollect with ease

upto four digits.....more than that it is difficult.....this is as per

scientific study.....

 

with regards,

Dear Rohini,

That is perhaps to make it easy to memorize the classics as the verses

render brevity to the texts .

Chandrashekhar.

That makes sense, Chandrashekhar, particularly considering that

presumably it was oral and not written. Verses must have kept the

students alert and attentive too! Generally speaking students tend to

doze off during lectures ;-)

Verse means written as a poem

Most scientific/technical/modern material (including astrology) is

written in prose (like the format of this exchange).

Dear Rohini ,

 

To you it is prose . To the person interested it is poem . That is why I called it jargon . How do you think doctors remember hundreds of diseases , with thousands of symptoms and put it together with millions of OTC drugs all in a matter of few minutes ?

 

If you keep a recipe book and a medical handbook together you will be amazed at the similarity between the two .

 

By the way the word poem is defined as elevated composition in prose or verse . Thus it shows that poem is elevated or sanskritised version of straightforward text . What is elevated and what is not elevated depends on your familiarity with the language . For example hardly any high school student of Sanskrit would think of The Shrimadbhagwad Geeta as poem though it has the word Geeta in it .

 

 

 

Regards ,

 

Anand

Dear Rohini,

 

I am glad you find my logic proper.

Chandrashekhar.

I think they use mnemonics (lady between two majors, virgins are ugly

at the kidney but virgins are beautiful in the lung, etc. My doctor

friends used to tell us about all of these!).

 

Mnemonics are not poems or verse. I realize that even verse these

days can be written as prose, sort of. When I said verse, I meant the

classical kind, with rhyme, meter etc.
