Dear Antonia,
I don’t think anyone has mentioned yet the mnemonic for remembering the names of the 3-syllable gaṇas for the analysis of meters: *yamātārājabhānasalagaḥ* (or I’ve also seen *yamātārājabhānasalagā*). Thus, ‘ya’ is the name for a light-heavy-heavy triad, ‘ma’ for heavy-heavy-heavy, and so on. I’ve always found it very useful, and my students have too.
