About pronunciation and transliteration

Sanskrit on these pages is printed in Devanagari and again in IAST. Retroflex, long vowels, and visarga are kept. We do not invent a private romanisation.

Bengali readers receive a reading aid in Bengali script — a help for the mouth of Bengal.

Hindi readers already share Devanagari with the source line. A separate Hindi reading aid appears only when the display form differs from the canonical print (for example a widely sung extra line).

Sandhi is left as the saṃhitā prints it, unless a record says we have opened the words for study. Danda and double danda follow the source.

A later phase will add ordinary-speed and slow recitation. Until a file is attached, no page pretends you can press play.
