ŚabdaśālāSaṃskr̥ta Gaṇaka Śālā

Pāṇini's Sanskrit grammar as software that shows each rule it applies

See the Sanskrit publishing trackAll studio ventures
Śabdaśālā: On the shared Ojas engine, a publisher can sell books and run ticketed readings. (The grammar engine and manuscript viewer are not started; no date is promised.)
  • The aim: Pāṇini's rules as software that shows which rule applied at each step.
  • Not started: no grammar engine, transliterator or translation tool is open to use.
  • On the shared Ojas engine, a publisher can sell books and run ticketed readings.

What Śabdaśālā is built around

Each capability is marked for what it does today.

Not started

Aṣṭādhyāyī as working rules

The aim: Pāṇini's ordered rules written as software that can apply and trace them.

Not started

Derivation, rule by rule

The aim: derive a Sanskrit word from its root and suffixes, naming each rule applied.

Not started

Scripts and manuscripts

The aim: read manuscripts in Devanagari, Grantha and Nandinagari and convert between scripts.

Not started

Sanskrit tools for developers

The aim: tokenizers and lookups that other software can call to work with Sanskrit text.

What works, and what to plan around

Each list is checked against the running product.

What works

  • A book store and checkout for a Sanskrit publisher, on the shared Ojas engine
  • Readings, lectures and workshops sold as ticketed events on ojas.events
  • Readers and scholars kept in one CRM

What to plan around

  • The Aṣṭādhyāyī grammar engine, a manuscript viewer and commentary layout tools
  • Machine translation of classical commentaries

Why a grammar that shows its rules

The problem

Language models hallucinate and distort classical Indian philosophical texts, and cannot say which rule licenses a form.

The aim

Not started

The aim of Śabdaśālā is a symbolic grammar layer that a tool could check a Sanskrit form against.

If you publish Sanskrit

Sell books, run ticketed readings, and keep readers and scholars in one list, on the shared Ojas engine.

The businesses we run, and the one thing they all sell through

Selling sits at the centre — the shop, the orders, the payments and the books. Every business we run sells through that same middle, which is why one sign-in carries your account, your team and your data across all of them.
