Intro

A repository containing important raw texts (some non-proofread). Processed (eg: transliterated) texts may be placed in other repos/ sites.

Motivation

  • Websites with critical digitized texts have disappeared in the past, to the frustration of users.
  • It is easier to search multiple files encoded in plain text.
    • part of an email sent by shrI vIranArAyaNa pANDurangi - "...problems in searching in wikisourse. it does not search to our wish. Suppose I wish to त्रिपादूर्ध्व wherever it occurs. If I search त्रिपा only it should search त्रिपादूर्ध्व. but it does not search it. it only searches त्रिपा. Hence I need to get all the veda and purana files in my computer. so I can put it in text files. text files search these things very fine."
