Is the comma after "preach" needed?
>"...when sending him out to preach, Srila Bhaktisiddhänta Sarasvaté >instructed him to prove the falsity of that theory." > >Without the comma, it reads "to preach Srila Bhaktisiddhänta >Sarasvaté" as if the subject of his preaching was Srila >Bhaktisiddhänta Sarasvaté. But if we were to speak that sentence we >would not naturally pause after "preach." Insertion of the comma thus >seems undesirable. Since "preach SBS" makes no sense, is dropping the >comma acceptable? I'd keep it. |
