This is intended to be a website dealing with Sanskrit metres.
In its current state, this is all very raw; work in progress. Source code at https://github.com/shreevatsa/sanskrit/tree/metrical-scan
Type a Sanskrit verse into the box below and click the button.
(The input can be in either Devanagari, IAST, Harvard-Kyoto, or ITRANS format.)
This is version 1e; older versions 1b and 1d are still available at http://1b.sanskritmetres.appspot.com and http://1d.sanskritmetres.appspot.com
Work in progress. (This table is out of date, and was based on an older version of the recognizer.) The "unknown" metres below are either because of incompleteness in our metrical data, or because of metrical errors in the GRETIL text.
