Techniques like Jata Patha, Kram Patha & Ghana Patha - specific patterns of repetitions - were used for this.
This clip of Jatapatha shows fascinating patterns of reputation through sound waves.
The countdown begins.

N.C. Kelkar (also commonly known as 'Tatyarao') was a close associate of Lokmanya Tilak. About 15 years younger, Kelkar worked with Tilak over many initiatives.
Following Tilak's death, became one of the key leaders of the 'Tilak faction' of the Indian National Congress.
Shri Rakesh Jhunjhunwala will be dearly missed.
A visionary investor, a brilliant leader, he was keenly interested in Indian history & heritage.
He was a great supporter of BORI. He contributed immensely to our digital initiatives.
Our thoughts & prayers are with his family
Pant Pratinidhi was indeed a visionary.
He was also instrumental in the foundation of the Bhandarkar Institute. And it was his generous donation that made the Critical Edition of Mahabharata a reality.
