Effective Parayanam of Grantha-s (through knowledge of Sandhi-s and examples from Valmiki-Ramayana & Srimad-Bhagavata)

पारम् अयते गच्छति अनेन इति पारायणम् । Large texts like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhagavata and other puranas are read in a prescribed period for immersion into the Grantha. In this way reading of the entire text is completed. Examples of these include Ramayana being read over nine days, Bhagavata being read over seven days, etc. This is called Parayanam. Knowledge of letters, words and their pronunciation is an essential part of doing Parayanam of any Sanskrit Grantha. Knowledge of Sandhi-s between letters of two adjoining words facilitates knowing the correct split and do error-free parayanam of the grantha with ease. Here’s a course by Dr. Venkatasubramanian P which helps you to understand the Sandhi-s and apply them in reading the verses of grantha-s like Ramayana and Bhagavata.
