On this page, you find two types of Sanskrit dictionaries:
  1. Dictionaries of verbal forms list the finite and infinite verbal forms found in a text.
  2. Regular dictionaries give lexical units and their references. "Stop words" such as ca, bhū etc. are not included.
The dictionaries are based on the lexical data contained in the SanskritTagger database.[1] Although tagging is done using a semi-automatic approach, the dictionaries contain errors, inconsistencies etc. Therefore, they are only meant as a guide to a text; each reference has to be checked in the respective source text!

How to read the dictionaries

Each lexical item in a regular dictionary is formatted in the same way. The entry

anubhava m
ŚSūtra: 1: 20; 3: 37 TantraS: 4: 43

means that the lexeme anubhava (gender: m(asc.)) is found in ŚSūtra = Śivasūtra, chapter 1, strophe 20, and chapter 3, strophe 37. In addition, it is found in TantraS = Tantrasāra, chapter 4, strophe/phrase 43.
Abbreviations are enumerated at the beginning of the file. If the file contains only one text, no text abbreviations are given in the dictionary. Number n in square brackets indicates that the item is found n times in a verse/strophe/phrase (e.g. [2] = the item is found twice).

The dictionaries of verbal form use a similar formalism.
