Dear Bhagavatottamas,
namskaram.
adiyen is wrtiting this mail after more than two years
of hesitation. also Sriman mani once touched upon this issue.
adiyen is now tempted to write this mail after adiyen has seen "charaNam" instead of SaraNam in one of the websites.
for the benefit of a very few Bhagavatas,
who are frequently writing wrongly transliterated samskruta words in the list and elsewhere, adiyen wishes to post the following sanskrit words tranliterated into Englsh which can serve as a guideline.
Wrong right
charaNam (foot) SaraNam (refuge)
SaraNam (refuge) charaNam (foot)
chatrugnar Satrughnar
Sarama SlOkam charama SlOkam
boologam bhUlOkam
naragam narakam
aidhihyam aitihyam
vaidheegam vaidikam
lowkeegam lowkikam
vadabhadraSAyi vatapatraSAyi
kAlakshEbham kAlakshEpam
prAraptam prArabdham
and a few oher words.
Not all of the above (except the first two) are of serious nature. But there is nothing wrong in writing the things rightly.
It is higly offensive to find fault with Bhagavatottamas. I tender many many apologies. My only intention is to serve a very few Bhagavatas in improving their transliteration.
