[INDOLOGY] Unaccented ṛgveda added to Searchable Aggregate Library of Sanskrit

[Madhav Deshpande]

My question is for general sources for such a search for verses cited in
the Nibandha works. I am editing and translating one such work and it has
hundreds of verses cited from Smritis and Puranas, many without any
specific mention of a source.
