The eight Vikrati families are
jata (matted
hair), maala (garland),
shikha (hair tied in a knot),
rekha (line),
dwajah (flag),
danda (rod),
ratha (chariot) and
ghana (hard
or difficult). The maala has 2 forms,
pushpa-maala (flower
garland) and Krama-maala (systematic
garland). We focus on the Krama-maala.
We give the Sanskrit description [1] in a brief, but precise form,
the so called sutra.
bruyat-krama

Word to word meaning:
Line 1:
declared-krama-reversed or flipped-one

verse-its-beginning-end
Line 2:

Translation:
- Take one
half a verse
- Arrange
it in Krama form
- Flip up
right to left and top to bottom
- Arrange
the two[arrays] together with end of
one set and the beginning of another to be tied together in the
same line.
- This is
Krama-maala.
