Garuda Mahā Purana - Achara Khaṇḍa
212 - Prosody
Suta said:
1. In Prastara first all Gurus Should be noted down: Then Laghu Should be noted down below the first Guru and the rest Should be done as before. In Nashta Laghu Should be written for even numbers and Guru Should be written for odd numbers. The same holds good about the half of numbers.
2. In Uddishtaka upon each Varna numbers beginning from one Should be written respectively multiplied by two. The numbers of Laghu Should be added and then one Should again be added.
3-5. [Being not clear are left untranslated].

The Divine Master details verbal conjugations, Ākhyāta, across various tenses, moods, and persons in Sanskrit. As it happens, Bhagavān Vishṇu elucidates verbal structures that describe divine pastimes and cosmic activities across past, present, and future ages.
