Dear friends,

Kindly find attached the announcement of launch of a Sanskrit verb form generator (vidyut-prakriya) from Mr. Arun Prasad, which may be of interest to some of you.

नमो विद्वद्भ्यः --

vidyut-prakriya generates Sanskrit words by applying Paninian rules step-by-step. Our long-term goal is for the program to generate all valid Paninian words.

Summary

vidyut-prakriya is heavily indebted to the SanskritVerb generator from Dr. Dhaval Patel, I.A.S and Dr. Shivakumari Katuri, and we are grateful to the authors for their encouragement in this project.

If you are familiar with SanskritVerb, vidyut-prakriya offers the following improvements:

- It adds many more forms (जुगुप्सते etc, अतत etc, -आम्बभूव etc.)

- It fixes various small bugs.

- Its prakriyas generally have more detail, especially for it-Agama rules.

- It can run in a web browser without an internet connection.

- It is much faster. On my laptop, vidyut-prakriya can generate all kartari-tinantas in about 4 seconds. This speed is especially useful for testing and for natural language processing tools.

- It has partial support for sanAdi forms. These have not been tested very much, so please use with caution.

Code: https://github.com/ambuda-org/vidyut/tree/main/vidyut-prakriya

Demo: https://ambuda-org.github.io/vidyullekha/-- click on a dhatu to see its tinanta padas, and click on a pada to see its prakriya.

Notes:

We are sharing our system publicly so that we can collect feedback and better discover bugs. Please share it widely so that we can collect more feedback.

- For bug reports, please use https://github.com/ambuda-org/vidyut/issues .

- We are eager to partner with scholars and experts to better test our system. If you are interested in working with us more closely, please contact us at https://ambuda.org/contact.

- We have partial support for subantas and krdantas, but these are not available in the demo yet.

- Testing was done by comparing our program to the output of SanskritVerb. Most differences have been accounted for and are (we believe) in vidyut-prakriya's favor, but a few small errors likely remain. 

Regards,

Arun Prasad

Thanks, Dhaval ji, for sharing this to the list.

I have added basic support for krdantas through a new कृदन्तानि tab. As before, you can click on a word to see its computer-generated prakriya:

https://ambuda-org.github.io/vidyullekha/

Our krdantas have not been tested extensively, but as with all parts of this system, they will improve rapidly over time. Our short-term goal is to have comprehensive support for tinantas, krdantas, and subantas. Longer-term goals are to support taddhitantas, samasas, and accent.

Thanks, can the L-markers be made capital or bolded?
