01 / The collection
Seven source-disclosed branches.
“Authentic” means source-disclosed and editorially transparent—not a claim that one modern edition cancels every manuscript, recension, lineage, or living pronunciation.

Open study edition02 / Reading architecture
Five layers. No hidden editorial leaps.
Every branch uses the same reading logic, but its provenance is specific to that text. The Chalisa is treated as Old Awadhi; the two Sahasranāmas use complete, name-by-name Sanskrit readers; the Shiva Tandava Stotram receives pāda-level compound study; the Bhagavad Gita carries a complete, pinned Sanskrit source layer across all eighteen chapters; the Ramcharitmanas carries all seven kāṇḍas with a close English rendering and exact-token contextual glosses; and the Chandogya Upanishad opens with its first section only. Coverage and review status stay visible rather than being smoothed over. Sanskrit receives IAST; Awadhi receives a clearly labelled orthographic romanization.
- 01
Source line
The transmitted Devanagari reading stays visible before interpretation.
- 02
Declared romanization
Sanskrit uses IAST; Awadhi uses a clearly labelled orthographic romanization rather than being passed off as Sanskrit grammar or phonetic coaching.
- 03
Available study layer
Name, word, or pāda analysis appears only where that layer is actually present and source-qualified.
- 04
Translation status
A close meaning is shown only where it is licensed and reviewed; otherwise the gap stays visible.
- 05
Attribution & sources
Poet, narrative speaker, traditional compiler, and commentator are named separately.
03 / Study companion
A study companion—not a substitute for lineage.
Pronunciation, sandhi and interpretation can vary across lineages. The short meanings here are learning aids, not exhaustive commentaries.
For formal recitation, initiation or ritual guidance, learn with a qualified teacher and follow the practice of your family or tradition.
04 / Textual care
Sources and editorial note.
The branch pages cite primary text repositories, critical-edition context, manuscript records, and modern scholarship. The Tulsidas attribution is qualified; Bhishma, Vyasa, the Vagdevīs, Hayagriva, Rāvaṇa, and later commentators are assigned their distinct textual roles.
External source editions remain with their respective custodians. This site hosts original concise study glosses and links readers to the complete source editions where reposting restrictions apply.
