Pashupati (Sanskrit Paśupati) is an incarnation of the Hindu god Shiva as "lord of the animals". He is revered throughout the Hindu world, but especially in Nepal, where he is commonly known as Pashupatinath and regarded by Hindus as the national deity

Though Nepal is an officially secular state, its population is predominantly Hindu, and Lord Shree Pashupatinath is revered as a national deity. The Pashupatinath Temple, located at the bank of the river Bagmati, is considered as the most sacred place in Nepal. The mythology hold that Lord Pashupatinath started living in Nepal in the form of a deer, then when he saw the Kathmandu Valley and he was overwhelmed by its beauty.

A Pashupatinath temple is sited on the banks of the Shivana river in Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is one of the most prominent shrines in Mandsaur, and Lord Shiva in the form of Lord Pashupatinath is its primary deity. Its main attraction is a unique Shiva Linga displaying eight faces of Lord Shiva. The shrine has four doors, representing the cardinal directions.[4]

Inside the 40 m (130 ft) high Amarnath cave, a stalagmite is formed due to freezing of water drops that fall from the roof of the cave on to the floor and grows up vertically from the cave floor.[4] It is considered to be a Shiva Linga by Hindus. It is mentioned in the ancient Hindu texts of Mahabharata and Puranas that Lingam represents Lord Shiva.[

The Amarnath temple is one of 18 Maha Shakti Peethas, or "Grand Shakti Peethas" – highly revered temples throughout South Asia that commemorate the location of fallen body parts of the Hindu deity Sati.
Sati is the goddess of marital felicity and longevity in Hinduism. An aspect of Adi Parashakti, Dakshayani is the first consort of Shiva, the second being Parvati who is the reincarnation of Sati. In Hindu legend, both Sati and Parvati, successively play the role of bringing Shiva away from ascetic isolation into creative participation with the world.

Shakti Peethas are shrines or divine places of the Mother Goddess. These are places that are believed to have enshrined with the presence of Shakti due to the falling of body parts of the corpse of Sati Devi, when Lord Shiva carried it and wandered throughout Aryavartha in sorrow. There are 51 Shakti Peethas linking to the 51 alphabets in Sanskrit.

Sanskrit recognizes three numbers—singular, dual, and plural.[214] The dual is a fully functioning category, used beyond naturally paired objects such as hands or eyes, extending to any collection of two. The elliptical dual is notable in the Vedic Sanskrit, according to Jamison, where a noun in the dual signals a paired opposition.

The Sanskrit language formally incorporates poetic metres.[221] By the late Vedic era, this developed into a field of study and it was central to the composition of the Hindu literature including the later Vedic texts. This study of Sanskrit prosody is called chandas and considered as one of the six Vedangas, or limbs of Vedic studies.[221][222]
Sanskrit prosody includes linear and non-linear systems.[223] The system started off with seven major metres, according to Annette Wilke and Oliver Moebus, called the "seven birds" or "seven mouths of Brihaspati", and each had its own rhythm, movements and aesthetics wherein a non-linear structure (aperiodicity) was mapped into a four verse polymorphic linear sequence.[224] A syllable in Sanskrit is classified as either laghu (light) or guru (heavy). This classification is based on a matra (literally, "count, measure, duration"), and typically a syllable that ends in a short vowel is a light syllable, while those that end in consonant, anusvara or visarga are heavy. The classical Sanskrit found in Hindu scriptures such as the Bhagavad Gita and many texts are so arranged that the light and heavy syllables in them follow a rhythm, though not necessarily a rhyme.[

Way back in the 2nd century BCE, when Sanskrit & Hinduism were at their peak in the Indian sub-continent, Hindus were accumulating knowledge like never before. However, what’s the point in accumulating knowledge without propagating it further? That’s where Sanskrit played a major role. Thanks to the flexible characteristic of the language, it was the ideal language to compose poetry by imbibing these learning into poems & propagating them through oral means.
... ... ...
That’s where the concept of “Sanskrit Prosody” comes into picture. This is basically a methodology based on rhythms & arrangement of tones. Not only is it a method, but actually a vast field of study where natural rhythms are determined so as to form a framework for poetry which would be very pleasing to the ears. The poems which are then composed based on this framework, would abide by the laws of nature, hence making the poems sound naturally pleasant, thereby enhancing the probability of it being remembered for a long time in the human mind, with minimal effort.
... ... ...
Now, you might be wondering as to how we started the discussion with something as mathematical as Fibonacci series, but are touching upon topics like poems & Sanskrit Sutras. Well, that’s the beauty of ancient Indian wisdom. What we think is art, is actually beyond that. In ancient India, poems were not merely art forms produced out of creative juices, but had to inculcate highly sophisticated Mathematical concepts in order to pass the test of Sanskrit Shlokas. Chanda Shastra was one such mathematical concept which were widely used by the poets.In Chanda Shastra, everything finally boils down to 2 syllables: Short syllable which need 1 beat (Laghu) and Long syllable which require 2 beats (Guru).
... ... ...
So, it means, we can have 3 combinations. i.e There are 3 ways of arranging short & long syllables if we are asked to compose a shloka containing 3 beats.
We can go on with these calculations and determine that when we have 4 beats, we can have 5 combinations. When we have 5 beats, we can have 9 combinations. When we have 6 beats, we can have 13 combinations. When we have 7 beats, we can have 21 combinations. For 8 beats, we can have 34 combinations. And so on.
Summarizing the above paragraph, we can have 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 (….. upto infinity) combinations.
If we closely observe the above pattern, we note that it is actually nothing but the series which we today popular refer to as Fibonacci series. This is what the whole subject of Chanda Shastra is based upon.
... ... ...
And that takes us to the actual topic now. What we call as Chanda Shastra, was pioneered by a Saint-Scholar (Rishi) named Pingala in the 2nd century BC. (Although recent archeological evidences suggest that it was 4th century BC).

Rajaraja's elder brother died before him, and after the death of Uttama, Rajaraja ascended the throne in June–July 985.[4] Known as Arumoḷi Varman until this point, he adopted the name Rajaraja, which literally means "King among Kings".[
Brihadisvara Temple inscription reading "Rajaraja"
... ... ...
Rajaraja embarked on a mission to recover the hymns after hearing short excerpts of Thevaram in his court.[80] He sought the help of Nambi Andar Nambi.[81] It is believed that by divine intervention Nambi found the presence of scripts, in the form of cadijam leaves half eaten by white ants in a chamber inside the second precinct in Thillai Nataraja Temple, Chidambaram.[82][81] The brahmanas (Dikshitars) in the temple opposed the mission, but Rajaraja intervened by consecrating the images of the saint-poets through the streets of Chidambaram.[82][83] Rajaraja thus became to be known as Tirumurai Kanda Cholan meaning one who saved the Tirumurai. Thus far Shiva temples only had images of god forms, but after the advent of Rajaraja, the images of the Nayanar saints were also placed inside the temple.[

The order of constituents in a phrase can vary as much as the order of constituents in a clause. Normally, the noun phrase and the adpositional phrase are investigated. Within the noun phrase, one investigates whether the following modifiers occur before or after the head noun.
- adjective (red house vs house red)
- determiner (this house vs house this)
- numeral (two houses vs houses two)
- possessor (my house vs house my)
Typologically, highly-animate actors are more likely topical than low-animate undergoers, a trend that would come through even in languages with free word order languages. That a statistical bias for SO order (or OS in the case of ergative systems, but ergative systems do not usually extend to the highest levels of animacy and usually give way to some form of nominative system, at least in the pronominal system).

wiki's 'word order' take is offering help, but I'm too thick to figure it out!...ground out...to bottom of fifth...thing is, I 'see' words...always have...anyway...the Harrapan script mystery:
quote
The Indus script (also known as the Harappan script) is a corpus of symbols produced by the Indus Valley Civilisation. Most inscriptions containing these symbols are extremely short, making it difficult to judge whether or not these symbols constituted a script used to record a language, or even symbolise a writing system.
... ... ...
Early examples of the symbol system are found in an Early Harappan and Indus civilisation context, dated to possibly as early as the 35th century BCE.[19][20] In the Mature Harappan period, from about 2600 BCE to 1900 BCE, strings of Indus signs are commonly found on flat, rectangular stamp seals as well as many other objects including tools, tablets, ornaments and pottery. The signs were written in many ways, including carving, chiseling, painting and embossing, on objects made of many different materials, such as soapstone, bone, shell, terracotta, sandstone, copper, silver and gold.[21] Often, animals such as bulls, elephants, rhinoceros, water buffaloes and the mythical unicorn accompanied the text on seals to help the illiterate identify the origin of a particular seal.
... ... ...
An opposing hypothesis that has been offered by Michael Witzel and Steve Farmer, is that these symbols are nonlinguistic signs, which symbolise families, clans, gods, and religious concepts and are similar to components of coats of arms or totem poles.[24] In a 2004 article, Farmer, Sproat, and Witzel presented a number of arguments stating that the Indus script is nonlinguistic. The main ones are the extreme brevity of the inscriptions, the existence of too many rare signs (which increase over the 700-year period of the Mature Harappan civilization) and the lack of the random-looking sign repetition that is typical of language.[

The Indus Valley Civilization, also known as the Harappan Civilization or the Indus Sarasvati Civilization, flourished from 3300 B.C. to 1800 B.C. At its height, this civilization extended from Baluchistan on the Iranian border in Pakistan to beyond New Delhi, India in the east, from Afghanistan and the Himalayas in the north to Mumbai, India in the south. This is the largest and most developed Bronze Age urban civilization known to date.
... ... ...
Archaeological surveys, undertaken in 1921-22, in what is today Pakistan, provided evidence of the early beginnings of Yoga. One of its most famous seals is that of a male figure seated in the lotus position surrounded by animals. Evidence suggests that this was Lord Pashupati, lord of animals, a form of Shiva worshipped in India and Nepal to this day. These and many other finds show the amazing continuity between the Indus Valley civilization and present day Hindu society and culture.
