Elib: Digital Library

Elib is a free digital library for readers of Sanskrit, Nepali and Hindi.

READ
- Hundreds of thousands of verses: the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, Mahabharata, Ramayana, Puranas, kavyas, shatakas, grammar texts and more. New books arrive from the server without updating the app.
- Every verse is set the way a printed edition sets it: a two-line shloka, or a four-line metre such as upajati, aligned with the verse number.
- Under each verse, the meaning in the languages you choose: anvaya (word order), Nepali, English and Hindi. Switch each one on or off.
- Five reading colours (white, paper, sepia, mint, night), adjustable text size and line spacing, and your place saved in every book.
- Shabdapatha as proper tables: every word with its eight cases and three numbers.

LOOK UP
- A large Sanskrit dictionary collection (Amarakosha, Halayudha, Vachaspatyam, Shabdakalpadruma, Monier-Williams and Apte, a Nepali dictionary and more) that works offline. Type in Devanagari, Roman letters or Nepali.
- Ask Elib: ask a question about words or verses and get an answer written from the library text.

DAILY
- The Nepali (Bikram Sambat) date, tithi, weekday, nakshatra, yoga and karana with the time each one lasts, the lunar month and paksha, sunrise and sunset, festivals and holidays: all calculated on your phone.
- A nitya shloka every day with its meanings.

RITUALS AND ARTICLES
- Karmakanda: rites and pujas by category, each with its steps and mantras.
- Articles and research on Sanskrit and Indian traditions.

FAST AND QUIET
- Opens instantly, works offline, and keeps itself up to date in the background. No account, no advertisements, no tracking.
