Sources & reading notes

IAST

The hundred Sanskrit verses in IAST follow Sringeri Sharada Peetham’s Shivananda Lahari. Source wording, punctuation and line-break hyphens are retained. The closing colophon is not counted as a verse.

Recordings

Imported from the owner-supplied Shivananda audio folder. Numbered filenames establish the initial verse mapping. Where alternatives exist, the named ShivaanandaLahari recording is preferred; alternate references are retained in the manifest. The owner confirmed Praveena Jayanthi as the performer on 9 October 2026. Reuse terms were not identified in the original listing. Listening and publication review remain pending.

English study material

All 100 verses contain original AI-generated draft English study notes, contextual vocabulary and contemplation prompts, not a published or independently reviewed translation. Sanskrit text was cross-checked against the Sanskrit Documents edition; wording from modern English translations was not copied. The four printed quarters remain the initial phrase units; compound vocabulary is a learning aid, not an exhaustive grammatical analysis. Transliteration changes script, not meaning. Consult a trusted teacher or commentary.

AI-assisted study notes and teaching attribution

English meanings and explanations were generated with AI assistance and have not been independently reviewed by a Sanskrit scholar. Sanskrit text follows the cited source editions.

These editorial study aids are separate from Guru Praveena Jayanthi’s teachings and recordings and should not be understood as explanations authored or approved by her.

Voice and recordings

Voice / Śloka recitation: Praveena Jayanthi. The owner has confirmed that the existing bundled śloka recordings feature her own voice. The AI-assisted English study notes are separate editorial material and are not explanations authored or approved by her. Other recordings retain their own performer and source credits, shown with the selected recording.

Timing and highlighting

The original recordings have automatic acoustic alignment for printed words and the four study quarters in IAST and Telugu. Boundaries are approximate and are not human listening-reviewed. Alignment is bound to the exact recording and text hashes. Administrators can upload a recording, enter verse, phrase and printed-word boundaries, validate them, listen-review the result and activate a version. Replacement recordings use their own timing; original-recording markers are never reused for a replacement.
