indenting

[Guest guest]

For several days in February 1936 at the Yogapitha, Srila

Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati's morning lecture was on an introductory verse

from Gita-govinda:

 

yadi hari-smarane sarasam manah yadi vilasa-kalasu kutahalam

madhura-komala-kanta-padavalim srnu tada jayadeva-sarasvatim

 

He commented that this verse presents the topmost subject of Veda and

Vedanta, and that if one desires to be liberated from material existence, if

one desires to be attracted by Bhagavan's transcendental pastimes, if by

hari-smarana one's mind is enriched with rasa, then in the manner undertaken

by guru and Vaisnavas the sweet and charming verses of Jayadeva's

Gita-govinda are suitable for discussion.

The beginning of all paras in this book are indented. Slokas are set in a

different style to the rest of the text. When a sloka is quoted within a

para (as in the case above), does the beginning of the remaining para

require indenting? Logically it shouldn't, but not doing so might look odd,

as if the layout man had made an oversight.
