Ram Shalaka Prashnavali

The Ram Shalaka Prashnavali: 225 chaupais from the Ramcharitmanas, arranged in a nine-by-nine grid the querent points at after holding a question in mind. Each entry carries the Devanagari `letter` that indexes it in the traditional grid, the `chaupai` itself, a `source` note saying where in the epic it appears, and an English `answer`. `index` is the 1-based position in the grid. Send nothing and all 225 come back, which is the usual way to use this — fetch once, cache, and index locally as the querent picks. `letter` returns the entries under one Devanagari letter; `index` returns one entry by position. There is no astronomy here: nothing is calculated from a date or a place, so the response never varies.
