Note 6 — II The heart of a Woman

Reading edition

Pronounce in three syllables Shut-roon-jye: it means, one who triumphs over his foes. So again, in three syllables, Narasing: which means, man-lion, alluding to one of Wishnu's incarnations. (Europeans do not adequately realise that the short final a, in Sanskrit, is always mute. They pronounce e.g. Ráma, Krishna, as if the last letter were long. They are monosyllables.)

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
