Can anyone read the Indian (Hindi?) writing on this Jainist version of Snakes and Ladders? https://medium.com/re-form/the-timelessness-of-snakes-and-ladders-4ae7d205a4e7#.ly7nvx6kv …pic.twitter.com/OXGU86Hn0y
@existentialcoms The picture is higher res in the link, it doesn't translate the vices/virtues represented by the snakes/ladders.

@existentialcoms It's Sanskrit & not hindi, probably ancient painting. Needs a sanskrit Shastri/Pandit to read!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@existentialcoms All I can say is they got it from Wikipedia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Snakes_and_Ladders.jpg … who in turn got it from here: http://www.herenow4u.net/index.php?id=72923 … -
I just discovered there is a Sanskrit language Wikipedia. https://sa.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%96%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%83%E0%A4%B7%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A0%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%8D … It has more animated GIFs than the English language one.
