turtleflute

note: the tale of the turtle and the flute

101a kacchapIvaMzI

101b brAjillokakathA
brazilian folk tale

note: Hindi speakers will pronounce brAzil (the country, Brasil) with a zed-sound and write that zee sound as a ji with a dot below. In Sanskrit you don't need to write the dot, and as for pronounciation, ji and zi are both fine.

101c pratizrAvitA
0:19 narrator -

101d amito gargaH
Amit Garg

note: Many Hindi names are supposed to come from a Sanskrit word that lost final a, and, when using them in Sanskrit, it is fine to add back the a, and stick BAD-LINK(/sup) affixes to them.
