Sanskrit paragraphs (written as a practice in learning) can be seen in Devanagari using the html links. If you cannot see it in Devanagari then perhaps you need to install the Sanskrit2003 font or another Unicode font which supports Devanagari characters. Please see the mainpage for instructions. The Itrans version of the message can be viewed and copied from the txt links. It will help me greatly if fellow learners or teachers can correct the itrans version and send it back to me or simply send an e-mail pointing out mistakes and possible corrections.
