About Sanskrit Dictionary Offline
Look up Sanskrit words anywhere — no internet, no account. Sanskrit Dictionary Offline puts the complete 1872 Monier-Williams Sanskrit-English Dictionary (55,390 entries, digitized by the Cologne Digital Sanskrit Lexicon) on your phone, with fast search, bookmarks and a built-in flashcard review.
SEARCH THE WAY YOU TYPE
• Type in Devanagari (धर्म) or IAST transliteration (dharma, with diacritics like ś, ṣ, ā)
• Forgot the diacritics? Near-match results catch "siva" for "śiva" — always clearly labelled
• Exact, "starts with" and "contains" matches, each marked so you know why a result appeared
• Reverse search: find Sanskrit headwords whose English definition contains your word
READ CLEAR ENTRIES
• Devanagari headword with IAST transliteration (can be hidden)
• Multi-sense definitions split into readable paragraphs
• Related entries: "See …" / "cf. …" cross-references link to the entry when it exists in the dictionary
• Select and copy any part of a definition, or copy the Devanagari / IAST
• Share an entry as text, with its source attribution
• Built-in list of the abbreviations used in classic Sanskrit dictionaries
BROWSE AND SAVE
• Browse every headword by its Devanagari initial letter
• Save words to folders and find them again in the Saved tab
• Export your saved words as a JSON file
• Recent searches and recently viewed entries on the home screen
LEARN WITH SPACED REPETITION
• Add any entry to Learn and review it as a flashcard
• Rate each card Again / Hard / Good / Easy; a documented SM-2-style scheduler decides when it comes back
• Undo your last rating
A WORD EVERY DAY
• Word of the Day on the home screen, with a streak that counts only the days you actually open it
MADE FOR STUDY
• Works fully offline after installation — ideal for class, travel or the library
• App menus available in English and Hindi
• Light and dark themes
• Your saved words and progress stay on your device
HONEST ABOUT THE CONTENT
• Definitions are in English, from the 1872 edition of Monier-Williams. Hindi meanings are not included yet.
• Entries are converted from the Cologne digitization by script and labelled as source-checked; they have not been individually reviewed by a Sanskrit scholar. Please verify important meanings with scholarly sources.
• This is a reference aid for students, readers of Sanskrit texts, yoga and Indology learners — not an academic or religious authority.
FREE, WITH ADS
The app is free and supported by ads: a small banner on browsing screens and, occasionally, a full-screen ad after you finish a review session — never while you read an entry or review cards. In the EEA/UK you can change your ad consent any time in Settings.
