Text and translations

The bhāṣyas and their translations are from the Advaitabharati repository of advaitabharati.sanatanasampatti.in. What those files do not have yet (the Bṛhadāraṇyaka's second and third chapters and some of its other mantras, and one verse of the Chāndogya) is given in Sanskrit from Advaita Sharada of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham (its XML), and marked where it appears. The fonts are Noto Serif Devanagari, Noto Serif Tamil and EB Garamond. More about the translations.
