This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Sure.

I don't speak Sanskrit. I looked it up (Thanks for that, Mr. Wolfe). 
Actually, I don' think there IS a modern term "rajan". Rajan is the term 
from which we get "raja" and the nominative *case* is "ray-jay".
