Actually 3 files, #s 14, 17 and 18 are unreadable due to the presence of
Sanskrit Vijay for which the special font seems to be required.

yes, that is correct.

should anyone know where these fonts can be obtained, may be then we may
attempt to read those chapters too.

namaste,
Trying to fixing the files does not work even when one installs the
original fonts. A scholar I know tried it.
http://home.flash.net/~patelvk/Sanskrit.html
He suggested that there may be no way to fix the fonts other than by
changing the originals themselves. I am not sure how someone other
than the author can do it!

Learning Sanskrit by a fresh approach - Lesson 10
I would like to take up a couplet, which for grammar of each word is fairly
simple. Also, I am calling it as a couplet and not a ?????????. For the
present, I shall leave it to you to first read this lesson through and then
say, whether it should be called a ????????? or not.
??????: ????????????? ?????? ?????????? ?
??????? ???????? ??????????? ?? ? ?
First breaking the conjugations -
??????: ????: ??: ? ?? ?????? ?????: ??? ?
????: ? ?????: ? ?????: ????: ?? ? ?
Some preliminary observations -
1. Four times ?, twice ?? and one ??? - These are all indeclinables.
2. Balance all are nouns, all masuline, singular and in first case.
3. No verb.
4. Does this verse make any sentence at all ? What is this verse then ?
Let us get on with the word-by-word study.
1. ??????: = Indra, said to be the presiding deity of the easterly direction
2. ????: = wind, one of eight "Vasu"s, one of the five fundamental elements,
said to be the presiding deity of north-westerly direction
3. ??: = Yama, god of death, god of righteousness,
3.1 Yama blessed Kunti with son YudhiShThira, also known as dharma-rAj in
recognition of his steadfast righteousness
3.2 Yama is considered to be younger brother of deity Saturn, both
considered to be sons of Sun God
3.3 Yama is considered to be the presiding deity of Southern direction.
Sleeping with one's feet towards south is supposed to be disrespectful to
Yama and hence is supposed to invite scourge of Yama, which has dreadful
consequence of death. Scientifically, it is said sleeping with one's feet
towards south is said to be unhealthy due to adverse effect of earth's
magnetism.
4. ? = and, an indeclinable
5. ?? = also, an indeclinable
6. ?????? = one of eight "Vasu"s, presiding deity of south-westerly
direction
7. ?????: = the middle one
8. ??? = so also, an indeclinable, often used also as a conjunction
connecting with a sub-clause starting with ???
9. ????: = name of Shiva, one of eight "Vasu"s, presiding deity of
North-easterly direction.
The convention may have some correlation with the fact that KailAsh mountain
and MAnas sarovar, which are supposed to be the abodes of Shiva are in
north-east of India.
10. ? see # 4
11. ?????: = God of wealth, one of eight "Vasu"s, presiding deity of north
direction
12. ? = see # 4
13. ?????: = fire, one of the five fundamental elements, presiding deity of
south-easterly direction, one of eight "Vasu"s
14. ????: = God of rains, one of eight "Vasu"s, presiding deity of western
direction
15. ?? see # 5
16. ? see # 4
Since all nouns are masculine, first case, singular, I thought it okay not
to put in any tabulations.
Now let me put in all the names in a 3x3 tabulation, putting in the names at
the direction, of which the respective name is the presiding deity. Along
side, I shall also put the serial number of the order, in which the names
appear in the shloka.
2 ????:7 ?????:6 ????:9 ????:5 ?????:1 ??????:4 ??????3 ??:8 ?????:
Now look just at the numbers. Numbers in all rows, columns and diagonals sum
up to 15.
Wow ! This shloka is a solution to a 3x3 magic square !
This is a solution not just for the numbers from 1 to 9. Take any set of
nine successive integers. Put them at places in the order of this shloka.
Let us try numbers from 26 to 34
273231343026292833
Sums of numbers in all rows, columns and diagonals is now 90, obviously
because each number is more by 25 than the numbers 1 to 9. So, total is more
by 3x25 i.e. by 75.
I guess, this can be extended to a magic square of 9x9, i.e. for 81
successive integers, first 9 integers to be placed in easterly square of 3x3
in the order of the shloka, next nine numbers to be placed in the
north-westerly 3x3 square, not mistaking the order in which the numbers have
to be put.
Since this shloka is a solution for a mathematical puzzle, it should now be
acceptable, that there is no verb, no sentence. Yet it makes a statement, a
very, very positive, powerful a statement !!
If anyone still has doubts of what treasure of knowledge is enshrined in
Sanskrit verses, this verse is just a fleeting glimpse !
By the way, I first came across this verse, maybe some forty-odd years back,
in a monthly Marathi magazine "AmRut". I could learn it by heart in just one
reading, just because of it being a solution of a mathematical puzzle !
Different people have different interests and the memories also work
accordingly, right ?
But this verse should appeal to all people alike, irrespective of age, I
guess.
Please go ahead and memorise this verse !
This verse is ascribed to..., whom else..., LeelAvati, daughter of famous
mathematician BhAskarAchArya !
By the way, this verse is a solution to odd-numbered (multiples of 3) magic
square ! How I wish that there is some shloka giving solution to any magic
square !
