Customer Reviews
Missing the Vedic text
This issue is missing all the Vedic text examples - if you need it for Vedic class, it’s useless. Sure, the interpretation is there, but neither are the original verses, the original translations, and there is not a single trace of Devanagari at all. It’s more like a comment book to the original issue, but it makes me even regret spending this small amount of money on it. I am very disappointet that they don’t state that this is a very shortened edition of the original book.
