[Advaita-l] Sandhyopasana - Savita

[Sundaresan, Vidyasankar (GE Infra, Water)]

>Yes, all etymologies are amateur until we know the
>original poet's intention based on the context. 

And we will never know the original poet's intention if we
Speculate, will we? Why not pick up the bhAshya and
study what SankarAcArya says about the original intention?
