Sanskrit Vardhan

anskrit Vardhan teaches classical Sanskrit through one book, read completely: all seven hundred verses of the Bhagavad Gita, and every one of the 9,110 words in them. Tap any word and you get its meaning, its full grammatical analysis, and the derivation that produces it, step by step, with the sutra of the Ashtadhyayi that licenses each step. Of the 9,110 words, 8,883 rebuild exactly from their own derivation. Where a source does not settle a point, the entry says so instead of filling the gap. THE VERSE Every verse opens as the text prints it, in one unbroken line. Touch it and the line comes apart into its padas, each word travelling out to its own place, so you see where the sandhi was and what it joined. Touch again and it closes back. Six ways to read each verse: the word split, the prose order, the verse restated in plain Sanskrit, the joins named one by one, the case endings in colour, and the metre marked syllable by syllable, guru and laghu, with the metre named. All eighteen chapters are recited, and the recitation is inside the app. Nothing is streamed. THE COURSE Twenty lessons in four levels, 257 sections, from the first noun ending to compounds, participles, gerundives, taddhita affixes, the karaka system and the ten verb classes. Every example is a real word standing in a real verse, with the quarter line it stands in. Nothing is invented for the sake of a rule. 170 questions with their answers. THE REFERENCE LIBRARY All of it inside the app, none of it behind a link: • The whole Ashtadhyayi, 3,983 sutras, with what each one says and where it applies in the Gita • The Dhatupatha, 2,259 roots with their meanings and their conjugated forms • 9,007 nominal stems with their declension tables • The Amarakosha, 9,019 synonym groups • 1,468 sandhi rules, each one named, and a tool that joins or splits any two words • The metre catalogue: 156 metres, the eight ganas, and the rules of guru and laghu • The etymology of the names in the Gita, Krishna, Arjuna, Bhishma and the rest, from the Unadi sutras • Bhutasankhya and Katapayadi, the two systems by which a number is written as a word PRACTICE Exercises built from the verses themselves, and spaced review of the words you have looked at. No streaks, no points, no badges. The text is the reward. HINDI AND ENGLISH Every explanation is written in both, and the grammatical terms stay in Sanskrit, in Devanagari, in either language. The Hindi is Sanskrit-nishtha throughout. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No account. No sign-in. No advertisements. No tracking of any kind. Nothing you do in the app leaves your device, and it works with no network at all, from the first launch onwards, on iPhone and on iPad. The reader is assumed to read Devanagari and to be at home in Hindi or English. No Sanskrit is assumed. Made by Vrish Vardhan Sharma, aged nine, Bharat (India).
