Where mistakes get recorded

The habit of this house is to record mistakes rather than hide them. Below are the corrections that came from readers or from our own checks. Spot an error? Write: lullarajiv [at] gmail [dot] com

September 12, 2026 · Passage maps and character journeys

Mahabharata episode 8 now gives its actual extent: Gita Press Adi211–233, corresponding here to Ganguli CCXIV–CCXXXVI. The earlier 200–225 label and opening scope summary did not match the chapter’s narrative.

Draupadi’s profile now retains her tears and the assembly’s dissent, and distinguishes the Mahabharata Sauptika 16 conclusion from the appeal concerning Ashvatthama’s mother in Bhagavatam 1.7.42–48. Related absolute-silence and target descriptions were narrowed to the passages actually supported.

Karna’s profile now describes his promise as not killing four brothers, and removes the claim that he never reproached his circumstances. His answer to Kunti includes that reproach. Both profiles have linked reading journeys and exact source notes.

September 12, 2026 · Text and context

The Hindi and English Vishnu Sahasranama introductions now identify Vyasa as Vasishtha’s great-grandson, Shakti’s grandson, and Parashara’s son. The opening verse is labeled as the first nine names, correcting the former count of eight. These changes were compared with the Gita Press Mahabharata, the Sanskrit text, and Swami Krishnananda’s presentation.

The repeated Ramkali and Sidh Gosht description has been corrected across angs 876–1106. The review compared all 231 affected pages and 18 boundary samples with Sahib Singh’s Guru Granth Darpan and Sant Singh Khalsa’s independent translation. Nine additional boundary pages were corrected. For example, ang 1000 belongs to Maru, while Sidh Gosht runs through Ramkali on angs 938–946.

Within these 240 pages, repeated biographies and unsupported historical template notes have been removed. Mixed-author pages no longer place every shabad under one author’s name. The displayed scripture and Hindi meanings remain unchanged. This was a review of the surrounding context, not a certification of every translation or of all 1,430 angs.

The Adi Granth entrance now explains its Devanagari and Hindi presentation and distinguishes private study from taking hukam. Harivamsha is described as twenty selected retellings. Foundations now gives one consistent first course, and the reading-guide index matches the five revised three-stop journeys.

September 11, 2026 · Reading routes and source details

The homepage’s beginning, half-hour and sorrow guides now lead to the intended edition. The English beginning guide’s outdated note about opening Hindi readings has been removed.

Both Hindi and English Sita profiles now distinguish Ravana’s deadline from an elapsed full year: in Sundara Kanda 37.7–8, Sita says the tenth month is running and two months remain. This was checked against the supplied Gita Press edition and an independent Sanskrit/English witness.

The Hindi Upanishads index now describes its twelve linked Upanishads accurately. Both editions distinguish selected commentary from a complete text, and the unsupported description of Isha as the briefest Upanishad has been removed.

The Yoga Sutras introduction, in both editions, now identifies 1.1 as the announcement, 1.2 as the definition, and 1.3 as the following statement about the seer. Its comparison with 4.34 is identified as an editorial reading. The incorrect “194 sutras in between” explanation has been removed.

The Hindi Chitraketu story’s source note now places the dialogue with the child’s living self in Bhagavata 6.16, where the supplied Gita Press edition and the independent Sanskrit/English text place it. The English note already had the correct chapter.

July 2026 · Listening Library

In the dark theme the Listening Library’s top card, on both the Hindi and English pages, stayed light while its text went pale, and the introduction was hard to read. The card now follows the theme.

July 2026 · The English Bhagavata

All 65 stories were retold afresh against the printed Gita Press edition. In that pass the count of the brahmin’s sons in the Bhrigu test was corrected to match the printed Sanskrit (Srimad Bhagavata 10.89.27), and the goddess in the Shiva and Mohini story is named per the printed text.
