Devanagari script - was Pramaana, Prameya & Pramaatru Chaitanyas

February 27, 2010

Dear Anupam-ji,

Might we ask you to explain how you managed to incorporate

Devanagari into your message? I believe this is the first time I have ever seen

it an email message. It appears to be in â€˜Mangalâ€™ font, which I wasnâ€™t even

aware that I had installed on my PC. Did you produce it using a utility such as

Itranslator? Presumably you didnâ€™t type it in from your keyboard. I am most

intrigued!

Note that I would not want to encourage routine use of such a

procedure â€“ we have justified complaints from members when we use ITRANS,

because it limits understanding unless one has knowledge of some Sanskrit terms.

But if we start using correct script, we are restricting understanding still further

to those who can read it. But there are obviously situations where it would be

very useful.

Best wishes,

Dennis

But, also there is (in p 25) another sloka. It goes like this.

Translation: The perceptuality of objects

such as jar, however, consists in their not being different from the

(consciousness associated with the) subject. etc etc...

With regards,

Dear Sri Dennis ji,

Namaste.

I used baraha fonts. One need not install the same to read the text.

But, to type on that, one has to download and install baraha font from

http://www.baraha.com/download.htm

After installing the same, open barahadirect from the installed

program. You may use F11 to toggle between English and other Indian

languages, including Devanagari. You can easily, comfortably and

directly type in any application, including gmail / / wordpad /

notepad / excel etc.

I am sorry to use the Devanagari slokas in my earlier mail as I had no

other option. Therefore, I have given the translation of the same

too.

With regards,

Anupam.

Dear Anupam-ji,

Thanks for the information. It certainly sounds interesting. However, having

just downloaded the file, I find it is trapped by Norton Antivirus, flagging

up the presence of medium to high risk virus 'Reser.Reputation.1'. I have

emailed the contact given at the site to let them know and will write again

when I hear more.

Best wishes,

Dennis
