Note from asker:
| Thanks for your suggestion! In your note, you have mentioned the word 'rhythm' as the translation of 'tal'. I would like to get it confirmed if you have translated "laya" and "taal" into "beat" and "rhythm" respectively. I am a bit confused as you have written "rhythm and beat" as translation of "laya and taal". Again, thanks for your valuable suggestion. |
