[Guest guest]

Hari Om

 

The slokas sent today are already in the mail post. As per the original

text the slokas 8,9,14 & 15 are not in the commentary sent by you. I am not

talking about sloka 8, 9 as per your mail post. The link

http://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_1_index.html<http://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_1\

_index.htmlI>

I <http://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_1_index.html> I have given in my mail

provided the Sanskrit version of the sloka only and the commentary posted by

you is very handy, hence I requested for the left out verses.

 

If you are able to send, that will be useful.

 

In His Seva
