[QUOTE="Arvind, post: 23646, member: 245"] Found elsewhere on internet. Author Amardeep Singh has detailed the chands of the powerful Jaap Sahib ----------------------- Gurbani Chands of Jaap Saaheb Amardeep Singh Sat Jan 19 This paper is written with an objective to initiate a discussion to gain better understanding on recitation methods of Jaap Saaheb. All Gurbani in Guru Granth Saaheb is written in Poetic Metres and the same applies to Jaap Saaheb. In order to understand Metre we need to first understand the meaning of Syllables. A Syllable is a Word or Part of a Word uttered by a single effort of the voice. Metre of Poetry is the uttering of certain groups of syllables of a Poetic line in regulated successions (long & short, stressed & unstressed). This uttering of syllables in regulated successions results in the generation of rhythm. Poetry and Metre are inseparable. All along a recitation, they exist together. On account of different rhythms produced by different Metres, they acquire different names. During Bhakti movement, devotional poetry in India was mostly composed in Padas, Dohra, Chaupai, Svaeeyay, Kabit, Pauri, Chand, etc. Gurbani also uses these forms of Metres. Jaap Saaheb is written in Chands and they follow the rule of Beat and Word. There are 10 types of Chands used in Jaap Saaheb. With exception of one, which has 6 lines (Padas or Charans), the rest 9 of them have 4 lines (Padas or Charans). Charans/Pads are the no. of lines that combine to form a single Chand. These lines (Charans) are like the legs of a Dining Table on which it stands. Each line (LEG – Pad/Charan) follows a specific rhythm rule, which combine together to form a Chand. In Indian classical prosody the time required to pronounce syllables, according to their phonetic make-up, is designed into two forms: Short (Laghu) and Long (Guru) known by notations I and S, respectively. Laghu I denotes a Matra (time-division), which is the smallest division of time taken to utter a syllable. This is the smallest rhythm unit of Poetry. Guru S is made up of 2 Laghus. At a place where Guru (notation S) falls, the uttered syllable will be stretched to twice the time taken in uttering a similar Laghu syllable. In mathematical form, the timing equation will be S = 2 * I Usually, the Guru (S) falls on syllables that have a Kanna, Bihari, Dulonkar, Lan, Hora, Kanora, Tippi, Bindi, Dulaaiyaan. However, this does not imply that all syllables with these characters will necessarily be a Guru (S). This is a general rule but not a must. Using the principles of Laghu and Guru we can attempt to understand the recitation method of Jaap Saaheb. 1. Chachri Chand : This Chand appears 32 times in Jaap Saaheb. Each Chand has 4 lines (Charans). Each Charan is to be recited with 4 syllables in the manner I S I, S For example, Chand 30 of Jaap Saaheb will be recited as follows : I S I S Alekh Hai A le kh Hai Abekh Hai A be kh Hai Anam Hai A na m Hai Akam Hai A ka m Hai 2. Rasaaval Chand : This Chand appears 8 times in Jaap Saaheb. Each Chand has 4 lines (Charans). Each Charan is to be recited with 6 syllables in the manner I S S, I S S For example, Chand 148 of Jaap Saaheb will be recited as follows: I S S , I S S Na Potrey, Na Putrey Na Po trey Na Pu trey Na Strey, Na Mitrey Na S trey Na Mi trey Na Tatey, Na Matey Na Ta tey Na Ma tey Na Jatey, Na Patey Na Ja tey Na Pa tey 3. Bhujang Paryat Chand : This Chand appears 62 times in Jaap Saaheb. Each Chand has 4 lines (Charans). Each Charan is to be recited with 8 syllables in the manner I S S, I S S, I S S, I S S However, in Jaap Saaheb it is used in a variance form of Ardh-Bhujang (Half Bhujang), which is similar to Rasaval Chand. Each Charan is to be recited with 6 syllables in the manner I S S, I S S For example, Chand 28 of Jaap Saaheb will be recited as follows : I S S , I S S Namo Jog Jogey Na mo Jo g Jo gey Namo Bhog Bhogey Na mo Bho g Bho gey Namo Sarb Dyaley Na mo Sar b Dya ley Namo Sarb Paaley Na mo Sar b Paa ley Bujang means the smooth and "back and forth" pattern of the snake, this is also related to gatka. Puratan Siksh in battle recited Jaap Sahib while engaged in battle. 4. Charpat Chand : This Chand appears 27 times in Jaap Saaheb. Each Chand has 4 lines (Charans). It has 2 forms of recitation. In the first form each Charan is to be recited with 5 syllables in the manner S I I, S S For example, Chand 74 of Jaap Saaheb will be recited as follows: S I I , S S Amrit Karmey Am ri t Kar mey Amrit Dharmey Am ri t Dhar mey Akhal Jogey Akh a l Jo gey Achal Bhogey Ach a l Jo gey In the second form each Charan is also to be recited with 5 syllables in the manner I I S, S S For example the Chand 78 of Jaap Saaheb will be recited as follows : I I S , S S Sarban Devan Sa r ban De van Sarban Bhevan Sa r ban Bhe van Sarban Kaaley Sa r ban kaa ley Sarban Paaley Sa r ban Paa ley 5. Madhubar Chand :This Chand appears 17 times in Jaap Saaheb. Each Chand has 4 lines (Charans). Each Charan is to be recited with 7 syllables in the manner I I I I, I S I For example, Chand 87 of Jaap Saaheb will be recited as follows: I I I I, I S I Gun Gan Udhar Gu n Ga n U dha r Mahima Apar Ma hi m a A pa r Aasan Abhang A a sa n A bha ng Upma Anang U p m a A na ng Madhubar Chand could mean "madh" (half) "bhaar" (weight) in that it is a chhand that you read not very slow and not very fast Must be read with emphasis on the middle sound eg Gun Gan Udaar --> emphasis on Gan MehMa Apaar --> emphasis on Ma 6. Bhagvati Chand : This Chand appears 41 times in Jaap Saaheb. Each Chand has 4 lines (Charans). It has 2 forms of recitation. In the first form each Charan is to be recited with 8 syllables in the manner I S I, I I S, I S For example, Chand 150 of Jaap Saaheb will be recited as follows: I S I , I I S , I , S Ki Jaahar Jahoor Hai Ki Jaa ha r Ja hoo r Hai Ki Haazar Hazoor Hai Ki Haa za r Ha zoo r Hai Hameshul Salam Hai Ha me shu l Sa la m Hai Samastul Klam Hai Sa ma stu l K la m Hai In the second form each Charan is to be recited with 6 syllables in the manner I S S, I S S For example the Chand 103 of Jaap Saaheb will be recited as follows: I S S , I S S Ki Aachij Desey Ki Aa chi j De sey Ki Aabhij Bhesey Ki Aa bhi j Bhe sey Ki Aaganj Karmey Ki Aa gan j Kar mey Ki Aabhanj Bharmey Ki Aa bhan j Bhar mey 7.
