Listen

These are scripted reads run on the page and in the guide. There is no audio file and no recited Sanskrit recording.

1-minute clip

  1. Three files: 3,983, 14, and 75.
  2. Meanings are not sourced yet.
  3. IAST in the grammar file is script-converted.
  4. The builder can recompute ac.

About one minute if you read slowly. Not a video.

10-minute trailer

  1. Read Start, then Foundations.
  2. Compute ac, hal, and al.
  3. Open 1.1.3 and look at the anuvritti field without translating it.
  4. Read the type-letter chart and leave AT and AD unexpanded.
  5. Read the dating dispute and do not pick a year.
  6. Remember the Kashmir file is a different text, under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
  7. Take one quiz.
  8. Open the guide and leave the voice off.

1-hour guided walk

The guide's one-hour course walks the rooms in order and asks a checkpoint from each room's quiz. It only repeats sentences written in the app. Stay with it and the reading is about an hour. It is not a recording.

Learn it in 5 minutes

The 1-minute clip, the 10-minute trailer, and the 1-hour walk are scripts you read. There is no video file and no Sanskrit recording.

Voice in the guide is off until you turn it on. A browser voice may mispronounce Sanskrit. It is a reading aid.

The one-hour course repeats sentences already written in the rooms and then asks a checkpoint.
