[Advaita-l] [advaitin] PTB parayan - advice requested

[Ananta Chaitanya [Sarasvati]]

Namaste Subbuji,

It skipped the initial part of शक्तत्वात् also, but this is common in AIs
to skip some parts, especially if you give long passages and well-known
texts where they may have training data. It gives an error if I put any
text longer than 4 padas even for gadya. How did you get such a long
passage work in a single unit?

Also the reading is like chanting. It sounds good as pArAyaNa but not for
study IMO. I am planning to go with reading styles not chanting for
bhAShya-TIkA.

Another thing to note is that with 10 chants of segments per day, this
might be another endless task!

Kind rgds,
--Ananta Chaitanya
