Sanskrit Translation Now Made, Be Crowned with Success ! PUBLISHER's NOTE “KOHAM?” (Who am I ?) Sri Ramanasramam Tiruvannamalai - 606 603. 2008 Koham ? (Who am I ?) Published by V. S. Ramanan, President, Sri Ramanasramam, Tiruvannamalai - 606 603. Phone : 04175-237200 email : [email protected] Website : www.sriramanamaharshi.org © Sri Ramanasramam Tiruvannamalai. Salutations to Sri Ramana Who resides in the Heart Lotus PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION Many were the devotees who were attracted to the presence of Bhagavan Sri Ramana while he was living in the Virupaksha Cave, situated in the holy region of Arunachala, the Heart Centre of the world, which confers liberation on those who (merely) think of It. They were drawn to him on account of his wonderful state of tapas - absorption in the silence of yoga samadhi, which is difficult of achievement. One among these devotees was Sivaprakasam Pillai who approached Maharshi in 1901-02 with devotion, faith and humility and prayed that he may be blessed with instructions on Reality. The questions raised over a period of time by Sivaprakasam Pillai were answered by the silent Maharshi in writing - in Tamil. The compilation (of the instruction) in the form of questions and answers has already been translated into Malayalam and many other languages. May this Sanskrit translation now made, be crowned with success ! PUBLISHER'S NOTE The Sanskrit translation of Sri Bhagavan's Who am I ? entitled Koham? by Jagadiswara Sastry was published earlier in 1945. We are happy to bring out a second edition. The special feature of this edition is that the text is in Sri Bhagavan's handwriting. A transliteration of the text into English has also been provided. It follows the standard diacritical notation excepting the use of : ch for c chh for ch jn for n~ sh for s. - - - hr.daya kamala vasine s´rimate raman. aya namah. a-mukham - - - - bhumand.ala hr.dayatmake smaran.anmuktide’ sminnarun.a- - - - - - chala divya kshetre virupa kshaguhayam bhagavatah. s´ri - - raman.asyatyadbhuta kat.hina mauna tapassamadhiyogena - svanikat.amakr.sht.eshu bahushu janeshvanyatamena - - s´ivaprakas´am pil.l.ai namakena kenachidbhaktena 1901-1902 kristus´aka-bde maharshi-nabhigamya mama tatvopades´ena-- - - - nugrahah. kartavya iti bhakti s´raddha vinayadi purassaram pra- - - - - - - - - - rthanam kr.tva paripr.sht.anam pras´nanam, tada tada maunina - - - - - - maharshin.a dravid.a bhashayam likhitvadattamuttaramidam - - - - - - - - - - - pras´nottarakaram keral.adi nana des´abhashanuditamapidanim - - - - - - - girvan.a van.yamanudyamanam vijayatetamam || s´ubham || - - om namo bhagavate s´rimate raman.aya koham?

  • Cross-Language Framework for Word Recognition and Spotting of Indic Scripts
    Cross-language Framework for Word Recognition and Spotting of Indic Scripts aAyan Kumar Bhunia, bPartha Pratim Roy*, aAkash Mohta, cUmapada Pal aDept. of ECE, Institute of Engineering & Management, Kolkata, India bDept. of CSE, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee India cCVPR Unit, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, India bemail: [email protected], TEL: +91-1332-284816 Abstract Handwritten word recognition and spotting of low-resource scripts are difficult as sufficient training data is not available and it is often expensive for collecting data of such scripts. This paper presents a novel cross language platform for handwritten word recognition and spotting for such low-resource scripts where training is performed with a sufficiently large dataset of an available script (considered as source script) and testing is done on other scripts (considered as target script). Training with one source script and testing with another script to have a reasonable result is not easy in handwriting domain due to the complex nature of handwriting variability among scripts. Also it is difficult in mapping between source and target characters when they appear in cursive word images. The proposed Indic cross language framework exploits a large resource of dataset for training and uses it for recognizing and spotting text of other target scripts where sufficient amount of training data is not available. Since, Indic scripts are mostly written in 3 zones, namely, upper, middle and lower, we employ zone-wise character (or component) mapping for efficient learning purpose. The performance of our cross- language framework depends on the extent of similarity between the source and target scripts.

  • Positional Notation Or Trigonometry [2, 13]
    The Greatest Mathematical Discovery? David H. Bailey∗ Jonathan M. Borweiny April 24, 2011 1 Introduction Question: What mathematical discovery more than 1500 years ago: • Is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, single discovery in the field of mathematics? • Involved three subtle ideas that eluded the greatest minds of antiquity, even geniuses such as Archimedes? • Was fiercely resisted in Europe for hundreds of years after its discovery? • Even today, in historical treatments of mathematics, is often dismissed with scant mention, or else is ascribed to the wrong source? Answer: Our modern system of positional decimal notation with zero, to- gether with the basic arithmetic computational schemes, which were discov- ered in India prior to 500 CE. ∗Bailey: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA.

This work was supported by the Director, Office of Computational and Technology Research, Division of Mathematical, Information, and Computational Sciences of the U.S. Department of Energy, under contract number DE-AC02-05CH11231. yCentre for Computer Assisted Research Mathematics and its Applications (CARMA), University of Newcastle, Callaghan, NSW 2308, Australia. Email: [email protected]. 1 2 Why? As the 19th century mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace explained: It is India that gave us the ingenious method of expressing all numbers by means of ten symbols, each symbol receiving a value of position as well as an absolute value; a profound and important idea which appears so simple to us now that we ignore its true merit. But its very sim- plicity and the great ease which it has lent to all computations put our arithmetic in the first rank of useful inventions; and we shall appre- ciate the grandeur of this achievement the more when we remember that it escaped the genius of Archimedes and Apollonius, two of the greatest men produced by antiquity.

  • Inflectional Morphology Analyzer for Sanskrit
    Inflectional Morphology Analyzer for Sanskrit Girish Nath Jha, Muktanand Agrawal, Subash, Sudhir K. Mishra, Diwakar Mani, Diwakar Mishra, Manji Bhadra, Surjit K. Singh [email protected] Special Centre for Sanskrit Studies Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi-110067 The paper describes a Sanskrit morphological analyzer that identifies and analyzes inflected noun- forms and verb-forms in any given sandhi-free text. The system which has been developed as java servlet RDBMS can be tested at http://sanskrit.jnu.ac.in (Language Processing Tools > Sanskrit Tinanta Analyzer/Subanta Analyzer) with Sanskrit data as unicode text. Subsequently, the separate systems of subanta and ti anta will be combined into a single system of sentence analysis with karaka interpretation. Currently, the system checks and labels each word as three basic POS categories - subanta, ti anta, and avyaya. Thereafter, each subanta is sent for subanta processing based on an example database and a rule database. The verbs are examined based on a database of verb roots and forms as well by reverse morphology based on Pāini an techniques. Future enhancements include plugging in the amarakosha ( http://sanskrit.jnu.ac.in/amara ) and other noun lexicons with the subanta system. The ti anta will be enhanced by the k danta analysis module being developed separately. 1. Introduction The authors in the present paper are describing the subanta and ti anta analysis systems for Sanskrit which are currently running at http://sanskrit.jnu.ac.in . Sanskrit is a heavily inflected language, and depends on nominal and verbal inflections for communication of meaning. A fully inflected unit is called pada .

  • An Introduction to Indic Scripts
    An Introduction to Indic Scripts Richard Ishida W3C [email protected] HTML version: http://www.w3.org/2002/Talks/09-ri-indic/indic-paper.html PDF version: http://www.w3.org/2002/Talks/09-ri-indic/indic-paper.pdf Introduction This paper provides an introduction to the major Indic scripts used on the Indian mainland. Those addressed in this paper include specifically Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Tamil, and Telugu. I have used XHTML encoded in UTF-8 for the base version of this paper. Most of the XHTML file can be viewed if you are running Windows XP with all associated Indic font and rendering support, and the Arial Unicode MS font. For examples that require complex rendering in scripts not yet supported by this configuration, such as Bengali, Oriya, and Malayalam, I have used non- Unicode fonts supplied with Gamma's Unitype. To view all fonts as intended without the above you can view the PDF file whose URL is given above. Although the Indic scripts are often described as similar, there is a large amount of variation at the detailed implementation level. To provide a detailed account of how each Indic script implements particular features on a letter by letter basis would require too much time and space for the task at hand. Nevertheless, despite the detail variations, the basic mechanisms are to a large extent the same, and at the general level there is a great deal of similarity between these scripts. It is certainly possible to structure a discussion of the relevant features along the same lines for each of the scripts in the set.

  • Brahminet-ITRANS Transliteration Scheme
    BrahmiNet-ITRANS Transliteration Scheme Anoop Kunchukuttan August 2020 The BrahmiNet-ITRANS notation (Kunchukuttan et al., 2015) provides a scheme for transcription of major Indian scripts in Roman, using ASCII characters. It extends the ITRANS1 transliteration scheme to cover characters not covered in the original scheme. Tables 1a shows the ITRANS mappings for vowels and diacritics (matras). Table 1b shows the ITRANS mappings for consonants. These tables also show the Unicode offset for each character. By Unicode offset, we mean the offset of the character in the Unicode range assigned to the script. For Indic scripts, logically equivalent characters are assigned the same offset in their respective Unicode codepoint ranges. For illustration, we also show the Devanagari characters corresponding to the transliteration. ka kha ga gha ∼Na, N^a ITRANS Unicode Offset Devanagari 15 16 17 18 19 a 05 अ क ख ग घ ङ aa, A 06, 3E आ, ◌ा cha Cha ja jha ∼na, JNa i 07, 3F इ, ि◌ 1A 1B 1C 1D 1E ii, I 08, 40 ई, ◌ी च छ ज झ ञ u 09, 41 उ, ◌ु Ta Tha Da Dha Na uu, U 0A, 42 ऊ, ◌ू 1F 20 21 22 23 RRi, R^i 0B, 43 ऋ, ◌ृ ट ठ ड ढ ण RRI, R^I 60, 44 ॠ, ◌ॄ ta tha da dha na LLi, L^i 0C, 62 ऌ, ◌ॢ 24 25 26 27 28 LLI, L^I 61, 63 ॡ, ◌ॣ त थ द ध न pa pha ba bha ma .e 0E, 46 ऎ, ◌ॆ 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E e 0F, 47 ए, ◌े प फ ब भ म ai 10,48 ऐ, ◌ै ya ra la va, wa .o 12, 4A ऒ, ◌ॊ 2F 30 32 35 o 13, 4B ओ, ◌ो य र ल व au 14, 4C औ, ◌ौ sha Sha sa ha aM 05 02, 02 अं 36 37 38 39 aH 05 03, 03 अः श ष स ह .m 02 ◌ं Ra lda, La zha .h 03 ◌ः 31 33 34 (a) Vowels ऱ ळ ऴ (b) Consonants Version: v1.0 (9 August 2020) NOTES: 1.
