Know your Talas | Important Carnatic music lesson

Continuing with the basics , we are moving to the Sapta Tala Alankaras.
This video is a brief introduction to the Tala system and how it is works.
As I keep mentioning it is very important to get the understanding and cementing of talas done at a very early stage in learning to enjoy the journey as well give yourself a chance to move to professional music.

Thank you Amma 🙏🙏
I have a question please. I searched for answers online, but could not get anything satisfactory:
> At 1:34 into the lesson, why are there no variations of Laghu with 6 and 8 beats? Something which likely would have been named Sasta Laghu and Ashta Laghu? The same question with Gathi variations: Why are there no Sasta Gathi and Ashta Gathi?

[@malaviswanathan]

Krishna, Sashta is double of tisra or 3 and ashta is double of chatusra or 4.

Thank you for your reply Amma 🙏. I now understand that the periodicity is what is being achieved by means of these various sequence lengths.
I was previously thinking in the following lines:
1. I understand that sequences more than 9 beats are too long for the human mind to perceive, analyse, store and follow. So the maximum is 9.
2. In order to construct sequences amounting to this maximum (9), I was wrongly considering "Prime factorisation" (instead of "Prime summation"- also known as "Prime summatory function").
So, it is not that 6 and 8 are missing. It appears that, to a prime number sequence {1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and so on..,}, 4 is added to make 8 if required (and as you have mentioned 3 can already make 6), and 9 is added since it is the maximum human perceivable sequence length. So that changes the set to {Anudhrutam (or 1), Dhrutam (or 2), L3, L4, L5, L7, L9}.
Thank you 🙏
