कथा ४ — रामकथा (p. 397)

  • HW 1:
    • Listen to Deshpande’s reading of the रामकथा and practice reading with him, following his model pronunciation. Translate the first half of the story and submit it below.
  • HW 2:
    • Submit your translation—and analyze the sandhi—of the rest of the story. Use our general rules of sandhi here: i.e., write the pre-sandhi word pair (e.g., मुनिस्तम् → मुनिः तम्) and provide the general rule (e.g., ः → homorganic sibilant // -V, if possible). Feel free to number the rules, so you need only number subsequent instances of each (rather than restate the entire rule every time).
    Provide an accurate, fluent English Translation.
Submit
    Provide an accurate, fluent English Translation and a sandhi analysis of this portion of the story.
