Thanks + FYI

Hi, thanks for your changes to Mahavakyas. I noticed that some of the changes you did (HERE and HERE), by inserting an alternate (better) spelling, broke the link to the page Aham Brahmasmi. Therefore I created a redirect page (HERE), pointing back to the original page. An alternate way to preserve the link, of course, would have been to redo the text as: [[Aham Brahmasmi|aham brahmāsmi]]. I don't think it matters much which way is used, but I think it's important to preserve an unbroken link. Thanks again for your work.

Kristubhagavatam devanagari needs more updating

Hello Savitr, thanks for your work on Kristubhagavatam. I edited the devanagari text you added to fit into the table at the appropriate place. But while doing that, I noticed that the romanized version of those two verses (XII 1 and 3), which I had entered myself a while back, was incorrect! Mostly the problem was putting ms and hs instead of anusvaras and visargas, though I also had misspelled krtva as krstva. So I was wondering if you could rerun the updated romanized text through your software, and generate some correspondingly updated devanagiri? (and perhaps insert it where the current devanagiri resides?) Many thanks -- Health Researcher (talk) 22:04, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

OK, HR, I put in the revised Devanagari. Doing that brought me to noticing some other oddities. Do please look at your KB text to make sure the Devanagari I put in matches it.

And yes, I did wonder about the word 'kRstvA', and I did expect 'kRtvA' there. I also found 'aca~nvalam' in what you'd entered, which I just now changed to 'aca~ncalam,' meaning 'unmoving' or 'not shaking.' I changed it in the Devanagari too. Presumably that is what you meant to enter there? Furthermore, I split up some of the words, using dash marks, in the transliteration. Why? Well, the only reason they are together in the Devanagari is due to a writing rule -- not even a sandhi rule, but a writing convention. I see no reason to complicate the readability on that account. Agree?

But again, please check it again against the original, and do revert my corrections if you find them faulty. And while you are considering that, take a look at the original word which you entered as 'tapattapaḥ'. I would expect some long vowels in that word, such as maybe 'tApat-tapaH' or 'tApAt-tapaH'.(and note that I am using a simplified iTRANS writing style, to save time here, rather than putting in the diacritics.)
