Hi Madhav,

Just to clarify your question.

Are you asking: "In a verse quoted in a Dharmaśāstric Nibandha, what is the best way to do a search of the Searchable Library to get the most results of where that verse is from "?

I have a related question. What is the best way to trace the sources of the many verses cited in the Dharmaśāstric Nibandhas?

Dear list members,

An unaccented ṛgveda has been added to the SEARCHABLE AGGREGATE LIBRARY of SANSKRIT . It is the barend a Van Nooten and Gary B. Holland version provided to GRETIL by Detlef Eichler, but with the accents removed. It was added to show search results that should have included those in the  ṛgveda but were excluded because of accents.  The accented version is still present in the library.

The unaccented version is titled: ṛgveda-saṃhitā unaccented

The accented version is titled: ṛgveda-saṃhitā accented

This was only possible to do because of this remarkable sanskrit transliteration tool provided by Yes Vedanta. It does all cross transliterations but also has a strip accents away option. I was able to enter the entire ṛgveda.

Thanks,
