Dear Madhavji,

There is nothing wrong with your dyutiṃ. It is the problem with the font. The default font on Microsoft windows was changed from Mangal font to Nirmala font, in Windows 10 (actually from Windows 8). The rendering of dyu is not correctly implemented in Nirmala font. So, unfortunately, everyone using Microsoft windows 10 would find your muktādyutiṃ as muktāduyatiṃ.

You can see how your text appears in various fonts as shown below:

I hope someone at Microsoft is working to rid their default font of all these bugs.

Regards,

Suresh.

I am told by a few friends that they see in the second line of my verse the word "muktāduyatiṃ". The Devanagari on my MacBook clearly reads "muktādyutiṃ." So there is some issue in how Devanagari Unicode typed on a MacBook gets displayed elsewhere. I don't have a way of solving this dilemma. I would appreciate if anyone has suggestions. Best,

My Sanskrit verse today:

कालिन्दीपुलिनेषु खेलनवशाद् यद्भालदेशे सदा
सञ्जाता: श्रमवारिबिन्दुपुलका मुक्ताद्युतिं तन्वते ।
यस्यानन्तगुणप्रभाविकिरणाद् विद्योतते भूतलम्
सोऽयं गोकुलवत्सलो विलसतां मन्मानसे सन्ततम् ।।

Playing on the banks of Kālindī, the drops of sweat on his forehead produced by his exertion shine like pearls. The world itself shines by the scattering light of his infinite virtues. May this love of Gokula constantly shine in my mind.
