Published books

Works that researchers have read closely and chosen to publish. Each one shows the source text as extracted, its romanisation in a named scholarly scheme, and a translation — with the model responsible for each named beside it.

No books have been published yet. Researchers publish a book from their workspace once it has been read, translated and given a licence.

What a published book is

A book here is one file in a researcher's corpus, read as a bound work rather than as material for a corpus-wide analysis. Its pages have been extracted, its chapters detected, and — where the source is not in a Latin script — romanised and translated. Everything past the extraction is derived, and the page says by what.

A translation is not the source

The translated column is a machine translation. It is useful for finding your way and for reading a passage you could not otherwise approach, and it is not evidence. Quote the source; cite the translation as what it is, naming the model — the same rule that governs every extracted passage on the platform. More in A translation is not the source.

Romanisation schemes are named

IAST, ITRANS and Harvard-Kyoto give three different strings for the same Sanskrit word. A transliteration whose convention is unnamed cannot be checked and cannot be cited, so every book records the scheme it was romanised under and shows it beside the text.
