Bharat,
Thousands of years ago, yogis meditating in the utter silence of caves or mountains, were able to withdraw their minds not only from external sounds, but from the noises of the physical body as well. They could then focus their minds on centres of subtle energy inside them. Along the spine and in the brain, there are seven psychic energy centres or chakras which control the functioning of mind and body. Most human beings are unaware of these chakras, but when the mind and body become more refined through meditation, these subtle energy centres can be perceived and controlled.
Those ancient yogis who directed their inner ear toward these energy centres, were able to hear the subtle vibrations emanating from each of them - 49 different vibrations in all. Then they spoke them aloud, and each of these subtle inner sounds became one letter of the Sanskrit alphabet.
Thus, the Sanskrit language - sometimes called "the mother of all languages" - was developed from the externalised sounds of our subtle internal energies. It is the human body's eternal song.
Rythm in which it is told is very important. That's the reason it was taught through verbal communication to disciple or students from Guru. The script came lateron.
Hearing Skanda sasti kavasam in voice form would be different from text form if we read it from the book, though it is a tamil song.
