We are working on digitizing more classical Prakrit literature including Gāhāsattasaī, Setubandha, and other important works.
This library is built upon the scholarly work of Andrew Ollett and the Digital Prakrit Texts Project, which provides TEI-encoded digital editions of classical Prakrit texts.
Our goal is to make these texts accessible to a wider audience, particularly readers in India who prefer reading in Devanagari script. We use the Aksharamukha transliteration engine to provide accurate script conversion.
