============

It is SLOKA and not SHLOKA

Let's first get the word right in the Article!

============

Pada

It would be helpful for an interested non-expert to see a brief definition of the term pada. The only sentence that mentions padas is "The metrical constraints on a hemistich in terms of its two constituent pādas are as follows:", which doesn't really explain what a pada is.CorinneSD (talk) 14:59, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

SHLOK

It is a IT Company. Located in India — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.92.109.91 (talk) 19:27, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

religious meaning?

This article Times of India: Muslims can take Allahs name in place of shlokas-Minister implies that Muslims can't chant shlokas. What's the religious significance of a shloka? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 16:28, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Everything here is WRONG

The shloka is NOT a couplet. It was written as a couplet to use up the whole page, because they did not have the luxury of much paper that they had in europe. In REALITY the shloka is a stanza of four line or "pada"'s, the even padas (2 and 4) ending thus: short long short long/short. The last syllable is long/short because in singing even a short vowel becomes long to mark the end of the clause or line. *Poetry is meant to be sung, so having a 32 syllable line is utterly outrageous*.
