Dear Madhav,

I would like to second David Reigle's remarks about your verses.  I also look forward to these "daily sanskrit lessons".  Its almost as if they were designed for that purpose.  For example useful to me because there are "themes" in the verses, vocabulary many times is repeated for  a few consecutive verses recording it in your memory.  Even grammatical themes are sometimes repeated.  For example awhile back there was the locative absolute construction used for three or four  consecutive verses. In verse 677, in a single verse there was both an imperative for a positive command and an augmentless aorist with mA for a negative command, etc. etc.

Many thanks and happy birthday..

Dear Madhav,

Your recording did not come through. I, too, would be anxious to hear it.

While writing, I have long been wanting to say how much I have benefited from your verses. It is very rare that we can know for sure what a writing in Sanskrit means, directly from the author. This is especially so for metrical verses. Your accompanying English translations are really helpful. I look forward to my daily Sanskrit lessons from you, in the form of your lovely verses.

Best regards,

David Reigle

Hello Jan,

     Here is my recording of my verse in Āryā.  This is the general style of reciting Āryā in Maharashtra.  This meter was made popular in Marathi by a poet named Moropant [Mayūrakavi] during the Peshwa period.  He composed 108 different Rāmāyaṇas, and an entire Mahābhārata in Marathi using Āryā.
