The Rig Veda

in Sanskrit


This is an experimental Sanskrit version of the Rig Veda; each verse occupies a separate file and is encoded in UTF-8 Unicode Devanagari and standard romanization. This version is derived from an ITRANS transcription which has been published at several different locations on the Internet. This version has some minor defects originating in the source files, which we hope to fix at some point. These files were posted in June 2004, and have not as of yet been vetted by any Sanskrit scholars. We welcome feedback about these files, see the site contact page. Also refer to the notes on the ITRANS source.
