Rucha

Richa (original Sanskrit version Rucha) refers to a shloka (couplet) or mantra, usually two to four sentences long, found in the Sanskrit religious scriptures, the Vedas. The etymological origin of richa is the Sanskrit word, ric, which means to praise. Richa, is therefore, one ric after the other. Other meanings of ric are splendour, worship, a hymn. Richa can also refer to a verbal composition of celestial sounds called "shrutis"; the Gayatri Mantra is a richa as well. Richa means "aphorism of Rig Veda".
There is another meaning of richa which means the stack of souls in existence in the world.
