Can you kindly educate me on this? Also, is there a search capability, to locate the words that one is interested in? > On size: It depends on the browser, nevertheless I have modified it so it should show up in a full-size regardless. On search: Currently, you would need to thumb through it as a book i.e. (I am providing a wordy and detailed example for the sake of completness) A sanskrit newbie/english speaker looking for the word ranga would first look at the Dictionary order of nAgari letters in http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/ebooks/mw/0000/mw__0033.html than trying to find the section from the main index in http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/ebooks/mw/index.html would recognize that ranga is in section 0800 between words bhaikshuka ~ randhragata i.e bh m y 'r' l and will click on http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/ebooks/mw/0800/ than scroll down the word list and ascertain that ranga would be between rakta-phala and raja i.e. k kh g gh 'n' c and click on the url associated with rakta-phala i.e. http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/ebooks/mw/0800/mw__0895.html and look through the page to find ranga However, there are two web services where you can search by entering a word i.e. http://acharya.iitm.ac.in/sanskrit/dictionary/ and by letter section http://homepages.comnet.co.nz/~r-mahoney/mw_dict/mw_dict.html Thanks Srinivasan Sriram ------------------------ Yahoo!
