🙏 Several scholars skilled in reciting Sanskrit are featured on this website. 🙏 When a meter is succcessfully identified in the online interface, all available melodies (see table below) are displayed in a media player at the bottom (two examples: anuṣṭubh, mālinī). The first three scholars kindly gave special permission for this use of their privately recorded sound files, and sound files for the latter two were found already online. I hope that users of the site find the diversity of voices as enriching as I have.
