Broken conjuncts

पण्डिते → पणि्डते

The word on the left is correct; the one on the right is the same word, broken. When old typing-font text is converted to Unicode badly, letters get reordered. On a phone it looks very nearly correct, which is exactly the problem.

Our own mistake

We found it in our own page first

This site published the Radha Kripa Kataksh with seven of those broken conjuncts. It has been corrected, and every change is listed openly rather than quietly fixed.

What was repaired

21 corrections across 13 verses

Seven were reordered conjuncts; the rest were dropped letters. Two readings were deliberately left alone, because correcting them would mean guessing rather than repairing.

Printing

A4 and print ready

Margins wide enough to bind or staple, and type large enough to read at arm's length on a stand. Print as many copies as you like, including for your temple or satsang group.

On your phone

No app, no signal needed

Every phone opens them without an app. A file is better for a phone with no signal in a queue before dawn, and it stays the same every time you open it.

Recitation

No diksha needed

None of these texts is locked behind initiation, a fee, a priest or a particular hour. Devotees across Braj recite them without any formal Sanskrit training.

Remember

Nobody should charge you for a stotra

No priest, no website and no app needs to be paid to give you a text like this, to recite it for you, or to unlock a special version of it.
