Hi Dattu,

 

Great work. I hope, you wouldn't mind a small correction. From what

I have learnt, I feel, 'Camunda' should be written 'Chamunda'.

Candaghanta, Candanayika, Candavati, Candi, Candika, Candroga should

also be written in similar fashion.

 

Thanks.

Hi Ashish,

According to the current anglisisation of sanskrit

terms ''cha'' is written as c with a mark above it to distinguish

from just ''c''.If you refer texts like Johnwoodroffe or David

Frawley or even some Indian texts they now follow the system of

writing ''c'' instead of ''ch''.Just a matter of convention.Anyhow

as many Indians would prefer it ''cha'' would be easily

understandable.I'm sorry for sticking to the convention.Thankyou for

bringing it to my notice.

Yours yogically,

Dattu
