How these texts are checked

Traditional texts differ from print to print, and online copies repeat each other's slips. So each text here is compared word by word across at least two independent copies. Where they differ, the page follows the reading most commonly recited, and a real dispute is stated on the page.

The meanings are our own, written for this site. A verse that speaks of a result is given as the text's own statement, not as a promise from us. If you find a mistake, write to us and we will correct it.

The app adds what a page cannot: a japa counter, a sankalp and a daily schedule. Open your devotion screen in the app
