2, Part 3, Part
4, Part 5)
As part of our ongoing Sanskrit vocabulary building, here are still more
Sanskrit words. You may find them useful when dealing with Jyotishis or
studying Jyotish.
This is a simple pronunciation key for your convenience. Sanskrit is
actually more complicated and there are many subtleties to pronunciation
that are not covered here.
Of course, if you are interested in Sanskrit, please take a course on
the subject. Learning the language of nature will give you a deeper understanding
of Jyotish and the entire world.
Basic Pronunciation Key:
A sounds like "ahhhh" as in "father"
E sounds like "ay" as in "hay"
I sounds like "eee" as in "leaf"
O sounds like "oh" as in "soap"
U sounds like "oo" as in "food"
