Six bands, and every band uses only the words and grammar the classes before it have taught. Read the Sanskrit first and let it mean something on its own — the English is behind a tap, for after.

Your reach: {{ reachLabel }} — every passage below is scored by how much of its grammar is already yours. Grammar only; it can't check vocabulary yet.
