If I am not mistaken, viprataa comes from >vip "to tremble, shake, shiver,

inspired, wise, learned, sage, seer, singer, poet, brahmin, priest etc"

I will try to share some of the verses with my commentary/notes as and when
it seems appropriate. The work is almost completed (this summer if all goes

share it (unless someone knows otherwise).
