I am extremely pleased to announce the launch of the "Searchable Aggregate Library of Sanskrit Etexts" newly created by myself from the major sanskrit etext collections on the web, whose licensing permits their copying for non-commercial use.
1) It contains 1501 etexts giving a cross section of sanskrit texts from the vedic texts onward to pre-modern . The etexts are copied from the following collections.
GRETIL sanskrit etext collection: 804 etexts
SARIT sanskrit etexts in transliteration: 54 etexts
University of Texas Dharma etexts and Upanishad etext collections: 86 etexts
Digital Corpus of Sanskrit vedic prose collection (containing many TITUS texts): 58 etexts.
Muktabodha etext collections with Creative Commons licencing (not including its joint venture etexts) : 499 etexts
2) There is a single clickable index to the entire collection in sanskrit letter order.
3) The search engine allows searchs in normal mode or with regular expressions. The results are displayed in what's known as "search in files" format, which shows all the results in a single page. Clicking on a result opens the relevant etext to that line in a new tab.
If clicking on a line doesn't open the file up, then your browser malware protection may be the problem and you will have to add the url
searchable-sanskrit-library.org as a safe site.
4) Care has been taken to give credit to the institutions and transcribers. All files have their original headers and the clickable index to the etexts lists in addition to the titles, the institution and the transcribers names that created the etext.
It is hoped that this new etext library will be both a location to search for etexts but also given that the collection is a cross-section of the literature from the earliest times onwards and regular expression searchs can be done, it is hoped that it will also be a research tool.
This is a private initiative unaffiliated with any organisation.
Thank you,
