The rsvp page of Rmn does not use any ttf or ps fonts, but Bitstream's font
player comes up to show the fonts as long as u keep it open. You select a
language and the font player comes up naggingly. Then you will see the
Sansklrit on left of = = = and meanings and tatparya on right. OK

> with high-grade ingredients like pearl?s powder, mints, cloves etc., is again
> a must in romanticism and the countenance of any lady with ?sweet-pan? in her
> mouth, looks pleasant, that too of an elderly lady. It is said that the first
> round of betel juice, ?rasa? essence, is venomous so it is to be spit out,
> second one is semi-venomous so it also to be discarded. From the third stage
> onwards it is said to be equalling amR^ita, ambrosia, hence it is an
> energiser and digester. If a mother consumes such an energising essence from
> betel leaves it becomes a good food digester, then only she can breastfeed

> Mood: The use of words ?red flowers of Kadamba trees? ?gems in diadems of
> celestials? their ?resplendence? on her ?feet? ?sandalwood- paste?
> ?breast-cloth wetted with that paste? all belong to an ochreish hue called
> ?aruNa varNa?. This ochreish hue is an apparent colour in firmament at the
> time of dawn and dusk everyday. The very word aruNa, ochrous hue depicts the
> Nature, at large. The flowers of Kadamba trees, ladyships, sandal paste,
> betel leaves chewing, breast cloth do signify the all pervading and all
> agreeable ?sR^ingaara? romanticism existing in nature / poetry. The word
> ?udaara...? free flow is an essential aspect for livelihood or to poetry.
> This word also means ?generosity?. The poet is also craving for Her generous
> bestowal of such a capacity to render an effusive expression of his poetry.
> The words ghoTii+khuraat+adhika+dhaaTii, in which the word ?khuraat? is
> sometimes read as ?kulaat? where the khura= hooves, and where the kula= group
> of. And in any usage, th
e
> rhythm
> of horses is the meaning. These verses are composed in the prosody called
> ashva dhaaTii, horse-hove-rhymed, and this prevails over the entire work.

>
>
> Thus, the poet desires a rhyme and rhythm concordant to Nature and natural
> poetry.
