Next is Padha, where each word is broken down, as in, \u2018the\/sky\/is\/blue\u2019 (a\/b\/c\/d). Krama, the third technique, adds the first real level of difficulty into the recitation through a pattern of \u2018the sky\/sky is\/is blue\u2019 (ab\/bc\/cd). Jatapatha, the first of the more challenging, alternates between a repetitious interposing and transposing of words to create a pattern of \u2018the sky sky the the sky\/sky is is sky sky is\/is blue blue is is blue\u2019 (abbaab\/bccbbc\/cddccd). <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBetween Jatapata and the last technique are six other techniques (called Mala, Shikha, Rekha, Dvaja, Danda and Ratha) that again are built-in combinations and permutations that have ensured that the order and words of the Vedas remain unchanged.
