The highlight for me was the versified Marathi version at the bottom written in शार्दूलविक्रीडित छन्द (śārdūlavikrīḍita meter)!

Excited to share a major redesign of sanskritsahitya dot org to improve readability, now with dictionary lookup, bookmarks, and many new features. 👇🏾

@SebastianNehrd2 What was the problem framed as? Just the Sanskrit text given with an instruction to translate, or was it given the gloss or other analysis alongside?

How good are current LLMs at Sanskrit? We ran the test on Sanskrit machine translation, which is a nice representative task and gives a good overview of which models are capable. 1/

@subhanusaxena Could you try refreshing the page? If it still doesn't work, please DM

@antarikshB @aparanjape @iitbombay What a great service for all of us thank you. In the IAST transliteration the letters with diacritic marks seem to be a larger font size somehow .

.@IITBombay graduate launches free website to make ancient Sanskrit literature accessible to all thehindu.com/news/national/… With the launch of SanskritSahitya.org, Antariksh Bothale, a software engineer and an IIT Bombay graduate is making ancient Sanskrit texts accessible and appealing to the new generation using modern computational tools.

@subhanusaxena @aparanjape @iitbombay Thanks, I'll take a look

@Vinay45428476 @aparanjape @iitbombay The mangalacharan is an image so that will stay in Devanagari for now. The other buttons I'll fix up in a few days.

@antarikshB @aparanjape @iitbombay Thank you so much for adding it.I love it. But there is a small issue. Home page still shows up in Sanskrit font.

@Vinay45428476 @aparanjape @iitbombay This is now live, you can select Telugu or Kannada scripts through the Settings menu (Gear Icon, Bottom Right). You might need to hard refresh the page to load the latest (Cmd Shift R or Ctrl Shift R)

@aparanjape @iitbombay This will be a go to site for Hindus. They should add transliteration into South Indian scripts so we can read Sanskrit verses of Ramayana and Mahabharata.

@subhanusaxena @aparanjape @iitbombay This is now live. 4 Indic scripts are supported. You can try it out by going to UI Settings (click on the gear icon on the bottom left). If you don't see the option, try reloading the page with Ctrl Shift R or Cmd Shift R

@aparanjape @iitbombay This is great! Is there a facility to transliterate for those who don’t know devenagari? Also, is the Mahabharata the BORI critical edition?

@Vinay45428476 @aparanjape @iitbombay That is in the works, please check back after a few days.

@subhanusaxena @aparanjape @iitbombay Yes, the Mahabharata is the BORI edition (more details on the Credits page). There will soon be support for other Indic scripts.

@BakarBansal @paraschopra I remember doing an assignment in our Paninian Grammar course, where we were asked to create a nano / pico version of the Ashthadhyayi, by coming up with generation rules for the noun forms for just 8 noun-classes अकारान्त आकारान्त etc. Interesting exercise.

@BakarBansal @paraschopra There are many resources for learning Paninian grammar, but I'm not aware of any definitive answer for the "how". I'd begin with studying the Ashtadhyayi first, which will make it easier to think about the topic.

What's a good book on how Panini came up with the rules of Sanksrit? Feel like diving into the history of the language.
