Subject:  Request for a Sanskrit Project

priya mitraNi,

Couple of months back we initiated a project to 
collect vaakyas ( pithy sayings) in Sanskrit. Thanks 
to the Sanskrit lovers on the net, I am pleased to 
announce that  we have collected over 150 such vaakyas 
from many such individuals.  

Now is the time we again look forward to your
help in filling the vaakyas with meaning, context, 
related stories and reference information.  Please
let us know if you are willing to take up a few vaakyas 
and elaborate upon it.   To begin with,  we are looking 
at a contribution of two to three vaakyas on your part for 
the project.  However,  we would be glad to assign you 
more if you are so inclined.  

We have placed the  files related to the  vaakyas at 
jaguar site for you to browse.  The files are:

vaakya.txt  (Just a list of sentences (vaakyasangraha))
vaakyalist.itx  (A list of sentences with ITRANS header)
vaakyalist.ps  ( A list printed in devanaagarii for easy reading)
vaakyaexamples.itx (Two examples of explanation of two sentences)
 vaakyaexamples.ps (Mixed devanaagarii/English print of examples)
vaakyaformat   (Format for which input is needed)

Please either indicate a number from postscript printout 
or send the lines from the text of those vaakyas which you
feel you can elaborate upon.  The format is useful.

Please let me know if you do not have access WWW or cannot 
access the jaguar site.  I will send out the above material in an 
e-mail for your perusal.

dhanyavaada
