fish stylesmmmmmmmmm ^ C- 1765

In the fish pages , you can hit the keys P S D to change the way the Sanskrit text is displayed. Hit the N key to get back to normal.

N normal style

D devanAgarI style

O hyphenated style

S spaceless style

P padapATha style

B Bengali style

These keys do not work yet. I have to rewrite the scripts, sorry.

The other buttons are experimental. Do not click them.

N normal stylemmmmmmmmm ^ C- 1766

The normal style is quite close to the HK transliteration described in wikipedia, but has a couple quirks. For instance it has kLptam instead of klRptam.

O hyphenated stylemmmmmmmmm ^ C- 1767

Like the N normal style , but adding some hyphens in the middle of some compounds.

D devanAgarI stylemmmmmmmmm ^ C- 1768

Pressing D you see the devanAgarI letters. There are no spaces unless after vowel, topdot, dotdot.

B Bengali stylemmmmmmmmm ^ C- 1769

Pressing B you see the Bangla letters, with one exception. The Sanskrit sound v is NOT written as if it were b, as modern Bengali spelling requires.

S spaceless stylemmmmmmmmm ^ C- 1770

When you press S you see the normal style with spaces removed.

This is mainly useless, except for one of my students. He has the bad habit of making a small pause in his chanting whenever he sees a space. Removing the spaces in the page helps him to chant kimakurvata instead of the incorrect kim + (small pause) + akurvata. When he finally gets rid of his habit I'll remove the S key.

P padapATha stylemmmmmmmmm ^ C- 1771

When pressing P, some of the sandhi between words are undone. For instance, the line that in normal style looks like --

03095001a yadA tv amanyatAgastyo gArhasthye tAGM kSamAm iti

becomes --

03095001a yadA tu + amanyata + agastyas + gArhasthye tAm + kSamAm iti

The plus sign show the places where the sound changed because of the sandhi rules. For instance, "tu + amanyata" changed into tvamanyata because of ikoyaNaci.

If no sandhi rule worked, or if the sandhi rules added up to changing nothing, there is no plus sign.
