  1. Good sir, thank you so much for posting this. I have watched it and yet still do not understand a few things in it. Did you follow the entire speech? Could you shed light on a few of its sentences? I will post my questions below, in case you would be so kind....

    1. at around 7:03, why does स्वामिजी say कस्माभिः इदम् अस्माभिः ? (wouldn't कस्माभिः be स्त्रीलिङ्ग whereas अस्माभिः here would be पुंलिङ्ग or does पाणिनि allow for this, optionally?)
    2. and after 7:30, why does स्वामिजी say अनानेतुं न शक्यन्ते ? (or am i mis-hearing? i expected आनेतुं न शक्यन्ते)
    3. and after 15:20, it sounds like स्वामिजी says व्यवहर्तुं प्रायितमानाः कति न सन्ति, but I don't recognize प्रायितमानाः (which i must be mishearing. i expected प्रेरयन्तः)
    4. after 19:50, i didn't make out the word(s) following मूर्खो (ह्यवेयम्? हि अवेयम्? which doesn't make sense to me with मूर्खो in the प्रथमा)
    5. after 20:20, the little sentence following स संस्कृतव्याकरणं पाठयति सः i didn't make out.
    6. after 22:50, does स्वामिजी say अवसरो न देयो हा इति ?

    Thank you again for posting this. I enjoyed it greatly!

  2. Sorry, on 1. above, the बहुवचन स्त्रीलिङ्ग of किम् would of course be काभिः (कैः for पुंलिङ्ग/नपुंसकलिङ्ग), so I am even more at a loss. I see that Whitney mentions केभिः as a variant in वेद, but does not mention *कस्माभिः....
