Listen

No recitation by a named reciter exists for this verse yet. Around eleven śākhās are still recited by an unbroken chain of teachers, and recording them is the most time-critical work in this project. If you recite, please get in touch.

  1. English Demoniacal men know neither right energy nor right abstinence; nor purity, nor even propriety, nor truth is in them. Annie Besant
