occurs exactly once. For example, the first three syllables form the pattern , the second through fourth syllables form , and so on. These patterns are named, using Pingala’s table, by their starting syllable (so that ya represents ). However, the number of syllables in a meter doesn’t have to be a multiple of three (you may have noticed this flaw in Pingala’s method). The last two syllables, la and gām are used for the leftovers. It is not known whether Pingala knew this mnemonic for the triplets, or if it was

2in which the duration <span class="highlight">of</span> a line is fixed, but not the number <span class="highlight">of</span> <span class="highlight">syllables</span>. This distinction naturally raises several mathematical questions. Pingala is credited with the first work on prosody, the systematic study <span class="highlight">of</span> meter. We know very little about him. Some modern scholars think he lived around 500 BC and was the nephew <span class="highlight">of</span> the great Sanskrit grammarian Panini; others claim he lived around 200 BC. The earliest definitive reference to his writing comes <span class="highlight">in</span> the third century AD [11]. Moreover, it is not

Prastāras <span class="highlight">of</span> one through four <span class="highlight">syllables</span> are shown <span class="highlight">in</span> Figure 1. Kedāra Bhatt gives an completely different algorithm that nonetheless generates the list <span class="highlight">of</span> n-syllable patterns <span class="highlight">in</span> the same order Pingala uses [11, 5]. The first pattern on the list consists <span class="highlight">of</span> n long <span class="highlight">syllables</span>. Suppose you are given any pattern on the list (for example, ). To get the next pattern, start from the left by writing long <span class="highlight">syllables</span>: When you reach the position <span class="highlight">of</span> the first long syllable <span class="highlight">in</span> the previous

The fact that the two problems produce the same triangle is, <span class="highlight">of</span> course, no coincidence. The number <span class="highlight">of</span> ways <span class="highlight">of</span> choosing r <span class="highlight">syllables</span> from a collection <span class="highlight">of</span> n different <span class="highlight">syllables</span> (nCr <span class="highlight">in</span> modern notation) equals the number <span class="highlight">of</span> ways <span class="highlight">of</span> choosing the r locations for the short <span class="highlight">syllables</span> within a meter <span class="highlight">of</span> n short or long <span class="highlight">syllables</span>. For example, the choice <span class="highlight">of</span> {2, 5, 7} from the collection {1, 2, . . . , 8} corresponds
