This means that they are learned in the Vedas to the extent of chanting of Vedas in the pattern called Ghanam. When we listen to a Ghanapaati reciting Vedas in Ghana form, we note that he repeats the words in various ways back and forth and in different patterns.
Vaakya Paatha or Samhita Paatha is to recite the mantras in a sentence straight. When mantras come in sentence, some of the words therein have to be conjoined in chanting.
Pada Paatha occurs after Samhita Paatha. In Pada Paatha the sentence is broken down to 'words' or pada.
Pada Paatha occurs after Samhita Paatha. In Pada Paatha the sentence is broken down to 'words' or pada.
This gives the student of the Vedas the knowledge of each word in sentence. Next is krama paatha, in this, the first word of a mantra is added to the second, the second to the third and so on until the whole sentence of mantra is completed.
In certain ancient edicts, at the end of the names of some illustrious persons, there would be suffix Krama-Vit, it means the person is well versed in reciting the Vedas by Krama paatha.
