Like Krishna dancing on Kaliya, or when Yashoda saw the universe in Krishna's mouth.
Thank you Aup. May i ask, how do you pronounce 'Purana' exactly?My single source was Bhagawat Purana which I read in my childhood. I still remember the drawing of Krishna tearing Bakasura by his beak. That was published by Gita Press in Gorakhpur, India. But that was in Hindi and a special yearly edition. Perhaps that will not be available now. However, Vishnu Purana could be downloaded from http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/vp/index.htm. I do not know in what way it differs from Bhagawat Purana. You may also visit this site: https://archive.org/details/studyofbhagavata00benaiala for a study of Bhagawat Purana.
I don't know much Turkish, so English will dohttps://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwi-_eiQtbjJAhWCU44KHRltBNsQtwIIHzAA&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMwe1uRsnYI&usg=AFQjCNE8Kr_bJATGwcBcwfrBVi57ZVOcag&sig2=7i1hOtDBdj5ZcxmtVofmFA&bvm=bv.108194040,d.c2E
That is simple Pu-rā-na. The first 'u' with P is pronounced like 'u' in 'but' (idol) or like in Buddha. 'ā' is the enlongated sound corresponding to aa, like in 'A'rmstrong. Simple 'a' is not pronounced in the enlongated way, then it is like the 'u' in but.
Similarly, Bhāgawat (which should be simpler).
At one site:
p is pronounced as p in pet
uu is pronounced as u in put
r is pronounced as r in rat
uh is pronounced as u in up
n is pronounced as n in no
Correct pronunciation of 'n' in Purana is possible only if you hear it from an Indian. I do not know if the sound exists in Turkish or not.
What's the difference between Devanagari and Sanskrit?The same 'ण' which is used in 'puran.a' occurs in the name of 'Ravan.a' also. Same in 'Vishn.u' too.
Listen to this for the special 'n'. This is sung by one who is known as the 'Nightingale' of India, Lata Mangeshkar the 'sweet-heart' of the sub-continent, literally worshiped by many as a special beneficiary of the grace of Goddess Saraswati. She has sung more than 25,000 songs in umpteen languages. Here she is singing 'Buddham Sharanam Gachhami'. In this you will hear the correct pronunciation of the 'n' in 'puranas'.
