What is the Gasuns Sanskrit Dictionary?
A translator-first Sanskrit dictionary: every major dictionary on one page, every sense anchored to the scanned print, every word findable as it actually appears in a text — open, API-first, versioned, citable.
*kosha* is the working codename and deployment path (samskrtam.ru/kosha); the public brand is Gasuns Sanskrit Dictionary. The data substrate is the Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries — Monier-Williams, the large Petersburg lexicon (PWG) and Apte 1890 first.
What it will do:
- Multi-dictionary view — one headword, all dictionaries on one page
- Scan-anchored print truth — per-entry links to the scanned printed page
- Meet the form, not the lemma — diacritic-free typing, inflected-form lookup
- Evidence-graded entries — corpus frequency bands from the Digital Corpus of Sanskrit
- Trilingual glosses — English · German · Russian side by side
