Contributing a Text [stotram]

[Vera Gonzalez]

Hello! 
I have been studying this text: https://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_devii/sarasvatiAgastya.html

the sarasvati stotram as composed by agastya muni. 

i would like to proof it for ambuda and get some experience with the platform using a text i am now already somewhat familiar with. 

if there are any particular guidelines for contribution or a specific format you would like the text in, i would be happy to do the initial work there. 

while i was looking for the text in question i also noticed that there is a `sarasvati` category among the stotrani, but that there are a few other sarasvati stotrams in the more generic `devi` section instead. i believe they are all from stotrarnava.

Wonderful! Glad to have your contributions.

To start, do you have a PDF of a published book that contains this stotra? That's generally the starting point for all texts we publish on Ambuda.

> but that there are a few other sarasvati stotrams

This is just my error. I'll fix it now. Thanks for flagging it!

after much searching, i was able to find the text in question. 

the stotram appears on page 114 in the pdf / page 112 as the numbers on the pages indicate. 

does this satisfy the requirements for adding a text?
i read through the text once and noticed there are a few subtle differences between this one and the sanskritdocuments.org one. 

thanks.

Am I right that ambuda is also missing the महिषासुरमर्दिनीस्तोत्रम्? It's a favorite; I'd love to add that one also from the same book if we consider it a reputable source.

apologies for the late reply!

the book scan is not ideal but it is workable. ideally the book contains some info on the publication year, but we can try to find that elsewhere online. I’ll upload this after work.

re: mahishasuramardini, it is missing but we have a proofread copy that needs to be published. it’s part of our backlog and will come out soon. 

can you also share your ambuda username?

My ambuda username is `recursivepaws`.

Thank you for your diligent work ; I look forwards to the mahishasuramardini as well.
