In the past 24 hours, the poetry blog has had 122 visits, of which 111 were to the three verses of the argalAstotram, an anga of the Devimahatmyam, that I published today. This is evidence of an extraordinary amount of interest, which I was not expecting and was totally unprepared for when I began this project. With only two verses to go to complete this text, I'm not sure what I will take up next, but will gladly accept guidance, from wherever it may come.
