Tough question IMO! They count each verse as a song. Also VAK did/does that
in his projects. Even then I am finding it hard to reach a figure of 11+
thousand songs. I generally count from the number of records. A
"seesa padyam" (most of the non-film records) can be considered as a
"full song" as its of ~3 min duration. And 2-3 vRttaalu (e.g. non-film
"prabhaati" has rEgina mungurul, ii gijigaani gooDu and raagamu nandukonnadi
- 3 verses. But its on one side of a record and one song for me.) as one
song. So, we have to check each time what kind of "padyam" it is :-). Safe
bet is to count each padyam as one song though I personally don't like that.
