Aṣṭākṣarī Baiṭh Code Words Introduction Aṣṭākṣarī Baiṭh are code words of eight syllables (akṣara-s) for each varga of the Ṛgvedapadapāṭha. The knowledge about these code words is contained in the text Aṣtākṣarī-BaiṭhParibhāṣā of Dakṣiṇāmūrti. The beginning and end of this text and a list of manuscripts are given in the book Vedalakṣaṇa compiled by Pandit K. Paramesvara Aithal (1993: p. 122-125, entry number 127). The text in Aithal’s book contains the code words for the varga-s 1.1.1-6, 8.4.41-42 and 49. The code words for the first and last vargas of Ṛgveda-padapāṭha are ghejāśatachathājaḍuḥ and ciphibhapapadhācadā. Code words for the varga-s 6.1.12-40, 6.2.1-40 and 6.3.1-24 are printed in the book Ekākṣarī Baiṭhaparibhāṣā (2014, p. 217-220) by Dr. Bhagyalata Pataskar.

In the transliterated text the avagraha is shown with the sign “-“. For the baiṭh syllables 2-8 each part of a compound is called a pada: pu̱raḥ is a word with 2 akṣara-s and it ends in visarga; hi̍ tam is a word with 2 akṣara-s and it ends in m; ra̱tna̱ is a word with 2 akṣara-s and all akṣara-s are anudātta; dhāta̍mam is a word with 3 akṣara-s and it ends in m. k c ṭ t p y ṣ kh ch ṭh th ph r s g j ḍ d b l h gh jh ḍh dh bh v ḻ? ṅ ñ ṇ n m ś kṣ (1-5) (6-10) (11-15) (16-20) (21-25) (26-30) (31-35) For the numbers 36-70 y (+35) is added after the consonant.

It is also called Ekākṣarī Baiṭh-paribhāṣā (Aithal: p.257, entry number 421) and Padaratnalakṣaṇa. The Ekākṣarī Baiṭh code gives the following informations about those words in the Padapāṭḥa which belong to a varga of the Ṛgveda Saṁhitā: 12 1. Number of words to which iti is added (pragṛhya and rephī words) 2. Information if the number of words ending in “n” is odd or even. 3. Information if the number of words ending in visarga is odd or even. 4. Information if the number of compound words (containing the avagraha) is odd or even. 5. Information if the last group of 5 words (pañcaka) contains 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 words. 6. Information if the total number of the words ending in si, tu and se is odd or even.
