lalitha sahasranamam and Bhavani namasahasram with commentaries by

eminent persons. Going through these alone makes one a scholar. What

is more, you have a rare insight into things which comes through in

your communications when you join an issue with terse comments. I

don't know you cannot differentiate you from Eve. (Adaption of the

phrase 'not to know one from Adam'). So this not flattery. Erudition

is of no avail in matters of faith. Adisankara says, 'samprapte

sannihite kale nahi nahi rakshati dukrinjkarane'. Freely translated,

it means at the hour of need, grammar doesn't come to your aid. And

this is said by Sankara who among the greatest of scholars. We make

our claim to erudition by studying his works.
