I know no history. That's just my imaginaary thought in reverence to the
dhAra pUrkavulu had. 

Who knows! Had there been no change-over to vyAvahArika bhAsha from
grAndhika bhAsha, we would have been reading  all literature in
VSN style of language and we would have missed a good deal of literature
in vyaavahaarikam. 

In my opinion, chandas is not a bandham if we use it properly. That is
use it when you can express yourself confidently and clearly. If required,
adding some vacana in kaavyAs is never prohibited. When it's more apt, 
natural and beautiful use chandas. If there is a limitation use vacana.

Sorry for the typo and thank you for the correction. That is 'bandha' only.

I am unable to decipher this supposedly Latin sentence! Could you please
tarnslate it?
