Prārthanā is a prayer as forming part of the worship of teachers and the Ultimate Being.This verse is a metre called Mālinī (मालिनी) with 15 syllables in each quarter and with a definite pattern of gaṇas (groups) of syllables named “na na am ya ya ( न न म य य )”; each gaṇa consisting of three syllables. This belongs to a category of chandas by name atiśakvarī chandas (अतिशक्वरी छन्दस्). The verse is closed (by the last word “nūnam” नूनम्) – a poetical “fancy figure of speech” or embellishment called utprekśā (उत्प्रेक्षा).
