27:null 28:["$","title",null,{"children":"Pali Chanting Parsing & Metre Algorithm V2 | Cittadhammo | Observable"}] 2d:Tccc,# Pali Chanting Parsing & Metre Algorithm V2 The parsing rules used in this notebook follow the book [An Outline of the Metres in the Pāḷi Canon](https://ancient-buddhist-texts.net/Textual-Studies/Outline/index.htm) by Ānandajoti Bhikkhu where: - **"`^`"** indicates a **light** syllable ("⏑" is used in the reference book) - **"`-`"** indicates a **heavy** syllable (twice the weight of a light one, "−" is used) - **"`x`"** indicates a **forced heavy** syllable (see [preface to the 3rd edition](https://ancient-buddhist-texts.net/Textual-Studies/Outline/index.htm#ThirdEdition) in the book, where the sybol "×" is used) **Main metres**: You can find a list of [Main Metres in the Pāḷi Canon ](https://ancient-buddhist-texts.net/Textual-Studies/Grammar/Main-Metres.htm) online and try to identify the metres, like: _Siloka_ (2x 8 syllables), _Tuṭṭhubha_ (12) & _Jagatī_ (13),_ Old Gīti_ (Karaniya Metta Sutta) and _Hypermetres_ (Itipi so...) **Notes**: You can find the metre name with [this online tool](https://ancient-buddhist-texts.net/Textual-Studies/Metre-Tables/Tables-Filter.htm) by copying the glyph sequence at the end of the line of the _Block Output_. You can look up the name of the verse on google and have more clue about it! For example, the _Bāhuṁ_ chant, is identifed as "Vasantatilakā" that has a article on [wisdomlib.org](https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/vasantatilaka). You can also find a poem in sanskrit chanted by Sanju Baral on [soundclound](https://soundcloud.com/sanju-baral/sanskrit-iii-srimanti-sadguna-vasantatilaka) with that metre! There is another website that references all the meters: [ Prosodic Patterns to be Encoded in Editions](https://erc-dharma.github.io/output-prosody/display-prosody.html) by Dániel Balogh & Arlo Griffiths. An explanation on the difficulty to identify Siloka: [Vuttodaya, The Composition of Metre](https://ancient-buddhist-texts.net/Textual-Studies/Vuttodaya/05-Disimilar.htm) and a table contaning all meters: [Table of Metre Names and Outlines](https://ancient-buddhist-texts.net/Textual-Studies/Metre-Tables/Tables-Filter.htm). See also [Vedic metre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedic_metre) on wikipedia **Sources for pali chant**: - A good source reference for pali chanting is the markdown files from the Bikkhu Manual available on github, for example the [paritta](https://github.com/bhikkhu-manual/bhikkhu-manual/blob/master/manuscript/markdown/chants/parittas.md#bahum), the [suttas](https://github.com/bhikkhu-manual/bhikkhu-manual/blob/master/manuscript/markdown/chants/suttas.md) or the [patimokkha chants](https://github.com/bhikkhu-manual/bhikkhu-manual/blob/master/manuscript/markdown/chants/patimokkha-chants.md) - The [Digital Pali Reader](https://www.digitalpalireader.online/_dprhtml/index.html?loc=k.0.m) can give you the variation of the pali that might help to fit the metre for some verses. - [SuttaCentral](https://suttacentral.net/snp1.8/pli/ms?lang=en&layout=plain&reference=none¬es=asterisk&highlight=false&script=latin) has the root text as well.
