Excerpt from book: CHAPTER I: DISPOSITION OF THE REPEATED VERSES IN TEN CLASSES Classification according to extent and interrelations of the Repeated Matter As stated above (p. 4), the number of repetitions in the EV. which involve metrical lines singly, or in distichs, or in stanzas, or in groups of stanzas is about 2,400. This number is exclusive of repetitions of verse-lines within one and the same hymn; exclusive of refrain pfulus; and exclusive of catenary repetitions. But this number includes the pada pairs or groups, described on p. 10, which show considerable similarity, yet not enough to entitle them to be regarded as full repetitions.

In the majority of cases repetitions may be said to be sporadic, that is, a single pada appears in two or more different parts of the Sariihits. This class is taken for granted, and is not further considered. But repetition is by no means restricted to repetition of single padas: every conceivable group or mass of padas, even up to an entire hymn (see p. 13), is occasionally repeated, in such a way as to call for arrangement according to the size or nature of this group or mass. Accordingly it has been found convenient to deal with this matter under the following ten heads: 1. Groups of stanzas are repeated. 2. Entire single stanzas are repeated unchanged, as refrains at the end of hymns. 3. Entire single stanzas, not refrains, are repeated in any part of a hymn. 4. Substantially identical stanzas are repeated with changes. 5. Similar stanzas. 6. Distichs are repeated unchanged. 7. Distichs are repeated with changes. 8.
