Dear list members

Is the complete digital text of Natya-shastra available anywhere?

The version on GRETIL has four chapters missing (17, 31, 32, 34): http://gretil.sub.uni-goettingen.de/gretil/1_sanskr/5_poetry/1_natya/bharnatu.htm

The source for GRETIL is the text on SanskritDocuments, which also has these four chapters missing: http://sanskritdocuments.org/sanskrit/by-category/natyashastra.php

Thanks in advance, Nityananda

As you are a .Net developer, I hope you are comfortable with technical topics. Start with the Wikipedia articles on Unicode and UTF-8.

Simply speaking, Unicode is an encoding standard like ASCII. But it is much better than ASCII (whose one-byte encoding represents only 128 characters) in that with its 17 planes it can represent more than one million characters. Just its first plane, the Basic Multilingual Plane, with around 65,000 code points is enough to represent characters of almost all modern-day languages. As the below map shows, most of this space is for characters in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.


To bring Sanskrit books to Unicode, you need to scan them using a good OCR tool. If the books are already digitized as text (not images), various converters are available to convert from encoding schemes used by different fonts or IAST to Unicode.

Dear Sri Madhav Raj Ji,
It would be a good idea to post without these photographs which serve no purpose. Thanks

There are too many errors in this version of the Nāṭyaśāstra, and needs to be proof read carefully.
