rhyme
the stanzas in an "ashtakam" are a rhyming quartet with four lines, i.e. end lines rhyme as a-a-a-a. thus, in an ashtakam generally thirty-two lines are maintained. all these stanzas follow a strict rhyme scheme. the proper rhyme scheme for an astakam is: a-a-a-a/b-b-b-b….. (/ represents a new stanza). the rhyme designs are both ear-rhymes and eye-rhymes. ear-rhyme where the end letters rhyme in sound and audibility, and eye-rhyme where the end letters appear similar. this rhyme sequence sets the usual structure of the astakam. astakam rhyme consists of identical ("hard-rhyme") or similar ("soft-rhyme") sounds placed at predictable locations, normally the ends of lines for external rhyme or within lines for internal rhyme.
