Dear Colleagues:
I am looking for an electronic Sanskrit dictionary for running
under DOS or Windows.
Exists something like this?
CD-ROM?
Thank you.

While translating an early nineteenth-century Punjabi/Braj text I
came across the name of a king who has me completely stumped. The
passage goes something like this:
"As Raja Bipasachat witnessed the attractions of Maya so too
do the Sikhs..." The passage may also read this way:
"As the Brahman Raja Sachat [Bip is a Punjabi word for
Brahman]..."
Any word on a text which deals with this elusive king will be a
great help.

Could Raja Bipasachata be (in Sanskrit) Vipas'cit? The only
individuals I see for this name are (St. Petersburg Lexicon) the
Indra under the Manu Sva-rokis.a(Visnupurana, Markandeya Purana)
and a Buddha (Lalitavistara). Vettam Mani's Puranic Encyclopedia
adds "husband of Pi-vari-, the princess of Vidarbha. It is
mentioned in the Markandeya Purana, that because of the sinful
acts done by this man towards his wife he had to go to hell. A
look at S. Sorenson's Index to the names in the Mahabharata and
other books of onomastics might turn up other characters. Or it
could be a name made up for the character in this work, "King
Wise."
