For example, In English we have the words - impatient but intolerant - this prefix im is following anuswara rule where the nasal, is the nasal of the group in which consonant following it is located. So p is labial so im is the prefix and t is the dental group - so we have in as prefix. Another example is use of the negative participle a in front of a word which becomes an before initial vowels - so in English we have asexual but unusual, where un is of course an. However we also have the anomalous (note sanskrit negative participle in this word also!) unjust - but the j must have originally been pronounced in the German and Latin way - as the semi-vowel y. Of course there are numerous examples of cognate roots. Hope all this makes sense!!

My mother tongue Korean, which belongs to the Ural-Altaic family, has a variety of sandhi rules such as consonant-contact-change, gutturalization, vowel-union etc. The change does not happen at orthographic level, however, as in Sanskrit. I think Sandhi is a natural phenomenon just as blue and red becomes violet.

A usable pdf version of Monier-Williams' dictionary has been sorely missing from the web for years. I created this from the scans on the Sripedia page. It is in two parts of 105 MB each. This, I have found, is a size that most computers with at least 500 MB of RAM can easily handle. The whole dictionary is 210 MB. Also posted is the list of abbreviations. Here are the links: Vol 1: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6ES97IK4 Vol 2: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TFHH8492 Abbr and References: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HB93SOGC Complete: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5DF75DJ0 ReadMe.txt http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4BJKK6AP Feel free to post them on your websites such as sanskritdocuments.org, so that others may use them. That is why I uploaded them in the first place! Feel free to download and move them to your servers if you like, because megaupload may delete it after 3 months if there are no downloads. In my research and writing, when the MW program is not enough, I actually prefer using the pdf version I made from the Cologne scans, as it is a better scan. But, it is four volumes of 230 MB each, and the whole is too big to use. If any one thinks someone "could" use these better but larger volumes please let me know, and I can upload them. Being functionally disabled, due to various things like cancer and muscle disease, I cannot use the paper copy easily and depend completely on my electronic copies. I suppose even otherwise, people may prefer electronic copies these days. Please also visit and join our new and unique blog on Tyagaraja songs, giving each song in simple English poetry, capturing the rhyme and flow of the original better than prose. http://lyrical-thyagaraja.blogspot.com/ Do pass this info to any friends or email lists that might be interested. A blogger-style invite is in the postscript. Apart from giving verse translations; I also gently explain various related concepts of history, philosophy, literature and religion, in place, such as the difference between Siva, Sadasiva and Brahman, the concept of svatantra, the Hindu time scale etc, as well as connect with western art, music, history and poetry. Thx. In His Service, Prabhu. P.S. Join and follow our new blog on poetical translations of Tyagaraja and other 'kritis' (songs), started this Vijaya Dasami day. We are also providing authentic lyrics, commentary and critical literary content on each kriti, correcting some common errors in the popular books and websites. The poetic renditions aim to convey the imagery, flow and beauty of the original lyrics much better than prose. We include historical and cultural details, but no more than necessary. A key feature is that we presume no knowledge of Indian culture and gently introduce it as we go along and evoke familiar themes like "Joy to the world", "Ode to Joy", "O come all ye faithful", "The Solitary Reaper", Shakespeare and "La belle dame sans merci", so that anyone from anywhere in the world, with an interest in Carnatic music, may find Tyagaraja accessible. Apart from giving verse translations, for the more informed, we explain various related concepts of history, philosophy, literature and religion, in place, such as the difference between Siva, Sadasiva and Brahman, 'shan matani' etc., but only as much as necessary. http://lyrical-thyagaraja.blogspot.com/ Our site is completely color-coded and cross-linked; so it is very easy to read and follow. Our verses are written in simple English verse and meter, while retaining the structure and beauty of the original. We maintain line and word order, so that a word-for-word translation is already available in the verses! We also often provide interesting cultural and historical commentary on both the lyrics and the English verses. We think it is a unique attempt. We just started, and expect to cover all 600 kritis in a few months. As our content grows, we plan to move to a dedicated website. We also include selected kritis from other composers. [But please, if you do sign up to follow, sign up to follow publicly, but keep your profile details private. If you follow privately/anonymously, we can't keep track.

A key feature is that we presume no knowledge of Indian culture and gently introduce it as we go along and evoke familiar themes like "Joy to the world", "Ode to Joy", "O come all ye faithful", "The Solitary Reaper", Shakespeare and "La belle dame sans merci", so that anyone from anywhere in the world, with an interest in Carnatic music, may find Tyagaraja accessible. Apart from giving verse translations, for the more informed, we explain various related concepts of history, philosophy, literature and religion, in place, such as the difference between Siva, Sadasiva and Brahman, 'shan matani' etc., but only as much as necessary. <http://lyrical-thyagaraja.blogspot.com/> http://lyrical-thyagaraja.blogspot.com/ Our site is completely color-coded and cross-linked; so it is very easy to read and follow. Our verses are written in simple English verse and meter, while retaining the structure and beauty of the original. We maintain line and word order, so that a word-for-word translation is already available in the verses! We also often provide interesting cultural and historical commentary on both the lyrics and the English verses. We think it is a unique attempt. We just started, and expect to cover all 600 kritis in a few months. As our content grows, we plan to move to a dedicated website. We also include selected kritis from other composers.

It is beautiful. Keep up the good work. Regards, Vimala Bhatt. Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2009 13:23:53 -0400 From: lyricaltyagarajab...@gmail.com To: sanskrit@cs.utah.edu Subject: [Sanskrit] Monier-Williams dictionary in PDF available now for download + Blog Invite Hello. A usable pdf version of Monier-Williams' dictionary has been sorely missing from the web for years. I created this from the scans on the Sripedia page. It is in two parts of 105 MB each. This, I have found, is a size that most computers with at least 500 MB of RAM can easily handle. The whole dictionary is 210 MB. Also posted is the list of abbreviations. Here are the links: Vol 1: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6ES97IK4 Vol 2: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TFHH8492 Abbr and References: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HB93SOGC Complete: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5DF75DJ0 ReadMe.txt http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4BJKK6AP Feel free to post them on your websites such as sanskritdocuments.org, so that others may use them. That is why I uploaded them in the first place! Feel free to download and move them to your servers if you like, because megaupload may delete it after 3 months if there are no downloads. In my research and writing, when the MW program is not enough, I actually prefer using the pdf version I made from the Cologne scans, as it is a better scan. But, it is four volumes of 230 MB each, and the whole is too big to use. If any one thinks someone "could" use these better but larger volumes please let me know, and I can upload them. Being functionally disabled, due to various things like cancer and muscle disease, I cannot use the paper copy easily and depend completely on my electronic copies. I suppose even otherwise, people may prefer electronic copies these days. Please also visit and join our new and unique blog on Tyagaraja songs, giving each song in simple English poetry, capturing the rhyme and flow of the original better than prose. http://lyrical-thyagaraja.blogspot.com/ Do pass this info to any friends or email lists that might be interested. A blogger-style invite is in the postscript. Apart from giving verse translations; I also gently explain various related concepts of history, philosophy, literature and religion, in place, such as the difference between Siva, Sadasiva and Brahman, the concept of svatantra, the Hindu time scale etc, as well as connect with western art, music, history and poetry. Thx.In His Service, Prabhu. P.S. Join and follow our new blog on poetical translations of Tyagaraja and other 'kritis' (songs), started this Vijaya Dasami day.
