    Kristen – what is the phrase that you want to translate ?
    No promises, but as a Sanskrit lover, I am just curious :-)

    Neha, this link turned up on the google news alert for Sanskrit, which I have on my blog…. and hence I ended up here. Thanks for the link to the varnam article.

    Interestingly I do not see any analysis or comments from you , just a link… Is that what this site is meant to have ? I have probably seen some of your posts on desipundit
