Samsaadhanii: A Comprehensive Platform for Sanskrit Computational Linguistics

Samsaadhanii is not just for computer scientists; it has real-world uses across various fields. Scholars studying ancient texts often have to search through thousands of pages to find specific patterns. Samsaadhanii allows them to query a text. For example, a researcher could ask, Show me every time the word Dharma is used as an object in the Mahabharata. This type of analysis was impossible before digital tools. For students learning Sanskrit, the platform acts as a 24/7 tutor. If a student is stuck on a complex word in a textbook, they can type it into the analyzer. The tool will peel back the layers of grammar, explaining the root and the suffix. This builds confidence and speeds up the learning process. Many Sanskrit manuscripts are deteriorating. By digitizing them and using Samsaadhanii to make them searchable, we preserve the contents for eternity. The platform aids in creating E-Readers where a user can click on any word in a digital book to see its meaning.
