Grantha script of writing the Sanskrit language (rather than the Devanagiri script) is still being used by the teachers and students of Sri Guru Sarvabhauma Samskritha Vidyapeetam attached to Sri Raghavendra Swamy Matam at Manthralayam in Andhra Pradesh in India. They call Grantha as Dravid language! Reason is not known - P N RamachandranP N Ramachandran 03:18, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It would be great to have a full unicode rendering of the phrase in the different scripts as well, atleast on the description page. Is someone familiar enough with the scripts able to produce this? 122.181.138.178 (talk) 17:43, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Transliteration, Devanagari and Tibetan do not match.[edit]

I only know how to read Devanagari and Tibetan, but they don't match the transliteration. I don't know which is correct. I can only assume the other scripts are suspect as well.

Transliteration: śivō rakṣatu girvārṇabhāṣārasāsvādatatparān

Devanagari: śivo rakṣatu gīrvaṇabhāṣārasāsvādatatparān

Tibetan: śivo rakśahu gīraṇābhāṣārasāsvādahaparāna

And I must second the other user's call for Grantha, to which I would add Siddhaṁ. These are the two most important scripts for Sanskrit after Devanagari; both are still in use today.

If I find time, I will produce a better image. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Q885 (talkcontribs) 22:50, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there are also a few problems in the Gurmukhi script and in the Devanagari script. I think it would be a good idea to take a good look at this image and redo it. –Biocrite (talk) 08:35, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
