Padapatha
पदपाठ
padapāṭha
Veda is transferred from generation to generation by aural tradition. The Rishis were very particular about protecting the Samhita, the collection of revealed mantras. The Rishis have devised various method of chanting mantras; padapatha is one among them
In padapatha each word in a mantra is clearly separated from the next and chanted in the original order. Thus the Padhapada (पदपाठ ) clearly tells the word formation with no ambiguity
