prose in Vedic inscriptions?

Post by pc2 »

salutations,

as we are students of Sanskrit, we would like to find some information about how prose was written in Vedic Sanskrit. we would like to know if there is any inscription in Vedic Sanskrit written in prose, because, as far as we know, the Vedas are entirely poetic.
just for the record: this question is just out of personal interest.
another small doubt that occurred: what is the difference between । and ॥ in Devanaagarii? is । equivalent to a comma, and ॥ equivalent to a period?

TIA,

"l" = completion of sentence
"ll" = completion of paragraph

I think you are two.
Hence dvivachana will be more important.
अनुगृहितौ स्वः
However, if you are many,
the above translation is right.
