These 24,000 verses have been arranged in such a way that they spread like waves around the seed (Bijakshar) of the Gayatri Mantra. This mathematical and poetic arrangement was made so that no alteration or adulteration could be made in the original text of Ramayana in ancient times. If any one stanza were removed, this wonderful combination would have been broken.
