Padapatha is the way of Vedic recitation or writing Veda, word by word each detached in its original form (pada), without regard to euphonic coalition of adjoining letters (sandhi). The padapatha, later on, had many modifications or artificial recitations, such as krama, jata, ghana and the like, in which each word would be repeated twice or more times, being uttered in connection with the preceding or the following word or with both.

The padapatha is a very authentic means for interpreting and preserving the Samhita text, since it is possible to break up many expressions in the Samhita texts in different ways and there is a distinct possibility of the same expressions being broken up into different constituents. This is called for very high degree of seriousness and insight on the part of the sages who
