The project correlates headwords in existing digitized major Sanskrit lexical reference works and extends them by digitizing additions and corrections, specialized dictionaries, indigenous Indian monolingual dictionaries, traditional thesauri, and traditional linguistic analyses. The project links lexical resources with digitized Sanskrit texts in a growing digital Sanskrit library and provides lemmatized search facilities.
