317 words, about 2 min02Padya: Prescribed Verses, Anvaya, Alankara, Metre and Message
Padya asks for meaning, anvaya, alankara, metre, and message. A verse is not a word list: first restore prose order, then translate, then name the figure and metre only when the words support it.

Vyakarana items are applied: sandhi, samasa, karaka and vibhakti, pratyaya, dhatu-rupa, and shabda-rupa. Answer by showing the operation, not by guessing the label.
