Shlokha resources

[Namo Narayana]

this site contains Shanmuga Vrutham, venkatesa sthothram, lakshmi sahasranama sthothram, shanmuga kavasam. All in Tamil and low resolution jpegs.

[Arjuna]

Most useless thing one can do is typing sanskrit texts with tamil letters. Unless special marks in addition to normal tamil script are used (which tamil brahmans do have) it cannot be pronounced properly.
Like that, "kavacham" is correct and not "kavasam", "Shanmukha" and not "Shanmuga".

Arjuna, I read vishnu sahasranamam in tamil transliterated sanskrit. whenver there may be a question about certain pronounciations they give you an appendix of examples. most notorious is the Sa cha sha combinations. it is not useless. it is quite usefull atleast to me. in tamil it is called shanmuga not shanmukha....... tamil dont use HA

To Namo Narayana:

In fact U have letters for "sa" and "ha" in tamili (i must be even able to find these, i saw them in one of my books).
Brahmanas also have many additional letters or sighns for exact transliteration of sanskrit.

[Namo Narayana]

arjuna, i have learnt tamil all my life. i am pretty sure that there is no ha or sha in tamil. sanskrit has cha sa and another sa. I read sahasranamam in tamil letters but exactly transliterated from sanskrit. they use certain leetters from sanskrit where there is no equivalent.

in shamuga kavasam , shanmuga shan is sanskrit or north indian. muga is called mugam in tamil. kavacham is always prounounced as kavasam in tamil. there is only one sa in tamil . on circumstance it is used as cha.
Ha is borrowed from north

[Arjuna]

There are no such sounds in tamili phonetics (that i know), but there are letters "ha" and "sa" in the script — perhaps to write words borrowed from Sanskrit.

[Namo Narayana]

yes i agreed to that. but those are not tamil letters. sa can be written in tamil but cannot be distinguished from cha. sha is not there and ha is also not there.
