Question about reciting and pranayama

[Guest guest]

Namaste all,

 

this is the first question of what I fear will be many about reciting

the Chandi. Here it is:

I try (!) to recite two verses to the breath. In Anustup, a verse

usually consists of two lines of 16 syllables each. But sometimes a

verse has only one line, f.i. in the Siddha Kunjika Stotram on p.373.

How should I breathe then; take the next verse with two lines in the

same breath as the verse with the one line? Or count to sixteen while

continuing to breathe out? How do I keep an even rhythm in these

cases?

 

thank you for your consideration,

 

with love,

Henny
