Note from translator:

What follows is the Rudra prasnam and Chamaka prasnamtransliterated into English and followed by a translation in English. Carehas been taken to make the English translation simple and in a form

which can be chanted. The readers are cautioned that thetransliteration has been given only to identify the anuvaakas andsukthaas and not for chanting. This is because anskrit is a verycomplicated language and a least phonetic language like Englishcannot bring out the nuances in actual chanting of this ma!estic andmelli"uous prayer. Not being a anskrit scholar but one who dependsupon other available translations mainly in Tamil and #alayalam$ %crave your pardon for errors if any that % have committed.
