Guest guest Report post Posted October 5, 2004 Jai Gurudev 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. Ashish... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted October 6, 2004 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.
