Verse: Concise, rhymed and metrical condemnation of excessive worldly pursuit.
Rhymed prose: Echoing endings such as majājatah, shakwatah, and hirāwatah.
Narration: The assembly reacts, gifts are offered, the speaker departs, conceals his path, and is followed.
Rhyme appears in both literary modes, but they are not identical. Verse has a metrical and rhyme structure; sajʿ is matching cadence or end sounds within prose.
Here sound attracts attention and movement sustains suspense. The literary devices serve the story rather than being detachable ornaments.
