These four lessons are meant to introduce the idea of rhythmic patterns. They are fitted to a 16 beat rhythmic cycle called the Aadi Taala. These serve as preparation for learning rhythmic patterns of the Taalas, the core of South Indian Percussion. Again each lesson is to be recited in three speeds.

These are longer lessons and the last three span multiple lines. This is indicated by the indentation of the continuing line.
