I'm working my way through the Devi Mahatmya and I wondered how to

properly pronounce this word.

 

Also is there a good online reference on sanscrit pronounciation?

Hi Prainbow:

 

So glad to hear you're reading Devi Mahatmyam; would love to hear

your opinions on it when you're through.

 

Asura is pronounced a-SHU-ra.

Here's a really quick and simple one for non scholars:

You may also find this link useful for understanding much of the

Sanskrit terminology that is bandied about here:

Devi Bhakta,

 

Thank you very much. These links are wonderful!

 

Indeed, I am feeling some questions arise as I read. I would like to

read all the way through at least once before I post about my reaction

to this interesting text.

 

Namaste,
