@dxrsam_0 @patangaha Today, I noticed that zatapatha is also available on vedaweb. They should also include the devanAgarI version of zatapatha with svara-s.

@patangaha शब्दकल्पद्रुमे नग्नहुर्नग्नहूरुभौ दत्तौ। अयं शब्द उदाहरणवच्छतपथब्राह्मणे दृश्यते, तदपि प्रकरणमिह प्रदिशामि।

@Yagnyanarayana1 ఆపస్తంబమే కాదు, ఎవరి స్వశాఖ ఏదైతే ఉందో దానికి తగిన సూత్రాన్నే ఆమూలాంతం అనుసరించండి.

@arjuna_uvaacha You can read this book[from pg. no 361]: archive.org/details/CNbI_k… Also, Ch. XX archive.org/details/katyay…

well read mutuals, any traditional reads on Ashvamedha? Also have any of you read Subhash Kak's short book on it? (PICTURE: UNRELATED and added for reach.)

@inevitablefreak @kojAnAti Yes, it is one of the good books for learning vyAkaraNa with prakriyA in great detail. Also, the foreword to her book has been written by purI zaGkarAcArya jI.

@Bhattapada @kojAnAti Have you read her sahajabodha?

Have any of you memorised the amarakośa? If yes, how did you do so? What hurdles did you face?

Entire NDA didn't give even a single ticket to a Tamil Brahmin in 234 constituencies of Tamil Nadu. Deeply shameful behavior. What DMK does in broad daylight, AIADMK+BJP does in cover of darkness.

We know that.

@TradDeshastha There should have been one more option, "I don't use any commas at all." Many people will go for that option. 😂

Himanshu Yadav asked Prashant Mishra his caste at BHU. The moment Mishra said “Brahmin,” Himanshu had a dramatic flashback of 6.023 × 10²³ years of oppression and raised his hand to slap him. If Mishra had any guilt about his oppressive ancestry, he would have swayed away and saved himself. But being a Manuwadi, he deliberately stood still so that his rock-solid cheek can shatter Himanshu Yadav’s delicate hand. Wish we had UGC-equity regulations here. This monster Mishra could have been booked under 3(1)(c) and taught a lesson, but even that has been put on hold because of outrage from these Manuwadis.

They will reject valmiki ramayana itself and still call advaitins avaidik. Lmao

@tishasaroyan विपुलांसः, महोरस्कः, पीनवक्षाः, विशालवक्षाः, हस्तिहस्तोपमभुजः is how Valmiki describes Rama - He with vipula (sturdy) amsa (shoulders), mahat/viSAla (broad) and pIna (full/muscular) uras/vakSas (chest), with arms (bhuja) like an elephant's trunk (hasti-hastopama). He is lean?😂

In Madhya Pradesh, BJP is implementing 100% reservation in public employment. Zero vacancies for EWS and General Category.

Kula and Kaala(m) are Sanskrit rooted words as the same words have multiple meanings (like black) and derivative words like Kaalan for Yama as timekeeper appear in multiple languages - with basis in the same concept of time. Black is also associated with death (Yama is also dark) - with time running out. Does Kaala mean black in Tamil? It is கறுப்பு. குலதெய்வம் as a concept goes back thousands of years in Thamizhagam, but both words are Sanskrit rooted. The pure Tamil equivalent maybe குடியிறை. The pure Tamil equivalents for these 2 words are - குடி/இனம் and நேரம்/கூற்றுவன். There was free and bidirectional word exchange in ancient Bharat and Tamil grammarians magnanimously welcomed this as Sanskrit and Tamil were considered their two eyes. Sangam era poets freely used Sanskrit loan words in their poetry. ஆதிபகவன் says Valluvar, அன்னையும் பிதாவும் says Avvai. Please don't let 20th century's manufactured political compulsions blind you from seeing our great civilizational heritage. For one to be Pro-Tamil, there is absolutely no need to be anti-Sanskrit.

नमस्कृत्य महादेवं विश्‍वव्यापिनमीश्‍वरम्। वक्ष्ये शिवमयं वर्म सर्वरक्षाकरं नृणाम् ॥ शुचौ देशे समासीनो यथावत्कल्पितासन: । जितेन्द्रियो जितप्राणश्‍चिंतयेच्छिवमव्ययम् ॥ महादेव 🙏

His name is Ashok Khemka. IIT Kharagpur. PhD from TIFR. IAS 1991 batch. In 2012 he was Director General of Land Consolidation in Haryana. He found a land deal where Robert Vadra’s company bought 3.5 acres in Gurugram for Rs 7.5 crore and sold it to DLF for Rs 58 crore within weeks. 700 percent profit. No physical development. Fraudulent mutation approvals. He cancelled the deal and declared it illegal. Within 10 days he was transferred. That was transfer number 1 of 57. 57 transfers in 34 years. One every 6 months. Every time he exposed corruption in a new department he was moved to a less significant one. Archives. Archaeology. Printing and Stationery. His batchmates became Secretaries to the Government of India. He was sent to manage old records. He posted on X after his 53rd transfer. The reward for honesty is humiliation. He retired in April 2025 as Additional Chief Secretary. He never became Chief Secretary. No medal. No recognition. Just 57 punishments for doing his job.

His name was Manjunath Shanmugam. He was an IIM Lucknow graduate. He got a job with Indian Oil Corporation as a sales officer. His territory was Uttar Pradesh. He found that petrol pump dealers were adulterating fuel and cheating customers. He reported it. He sealed the pumps. On November 19 2005 a petrol pump owner shot him dead outside his office. He was 27 years old. The killers were convicted. Sentenced to life imprisonment. His parents did not get compensation for 15 years. His college created the Manjunath Shanmugam Trust in his name to fight corruption. Some men die because they refused to look the other way. India forgets them too quickly.
