Hinduism - What Is Soratha?

 


Made consisting of two lines of twenty-four metric beats, split irregularly after the eleventh beat in northern Indian devotional (bhakti) poetry.

The first line's metric pattern is 6+4+1, whereas the second line's pattern is 6+4+3.

As a result, the soratha is an inversion of the doha metrical form.

The doha was significantly more popular and frequently utilized than the soratha, which was a common poetic form.
