This video discusses the syllabification (i.e., the identification or extraction of syllables) of Bhagavad-gita verse 1.1 (Chapter 1, Verse 1), and also determines its main verse meter.
The Part 2 video, which discusses the determination of ganas and patterns, is available here: Bhagavad-gita 1.1 — Sanskrit Grammar Workshop 02: Prosody, Part 2: Ganas and Patterns.
To learn more about the syllabification algorithm that I am using here, please see the Sanskrit Studio video Sanskrit Prosody: Syllabification with the WWG Method.
