A note about the spellings: In compiling the stories on this website, I have primarily used Hindi sources. Therefore, for masculine names, I use the Hindi spellings—or more precisely, the English transliterations of the Hindi names—instead of the original Sanskrit versions. For example, I use "Ram" and not "Rama". Feminine names, on the other hand, are pronounced the same way in Hindi and Sanskrit.
