Subject: [Y-Indology] definition of subhashita

 

To judge from anthologies, it seems that in practice the sanskrit subhashita is always considered to consist of a single verse. I have been told a few subhashitas that define the subhashita, but none of them mention that a subhashita should consist of a single verse. I wonder if this criterion is made explicit in any sanskrit text.
