One interesting feature of the first line in the first Verse of the "kAmAsikAkshtakam" is that it is fully 16-syllabled i.e. a multiple of 8 ! "ashtAksharam" !!! Also if you look at the first part of the first line it reads : "srutinAm-uttaram bhAgham....." Now if you look closely at the above and split it into constituent syllables you will get 8 syllables as follows : sru + ti + nA + ut + ta + ram + bhA + gham = 8 syllables !! Further, if you take syllable # 3, #4 and #6 separately you get : nA + ut + ram If you look closely, the above 3 syllables have the phonetic elements A + U + ma The above are the elements of "pranava-shabdham" !!! And the "pranava-shabdham" we know prefaces the holy "ashtAkshara-mantram" !!! Swami Desikan's exquisite verses are deeply embedded with so many such covert symbolisms that it defies one's imagination !! adiyEn/dAsan, sudarshan
