Read the source texts with clarity and depth
Vedaword is a library of Vedic literature: the Devanāgarī original, precise transliteration, word-by-word analysis, a literary translation, and commentary. Built for slow reading and a community of readers.
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमयtamaso mā jyotir gamaya — Lead me from darkness to lightBṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad 1.3.28
नारायणं नमस्कृत्य नरं चैव नरोत्तमम् ।
देवीं सरस्वतीं चैव ततो जयम् उदीरयेत् ॥
Having bowed down to Narayana and to Nara, the best of men, and to the goddess Sarasvati, let one then proclaim "Jaya" (Victory).

Connect the library to your AI assistant
Vedaword is open as an MCP server: Claude and other agents reach 110 000 verses directly — the Mahābhārata, the Rāmāyaṇa, all 108 Upaniṣads, the Gītā, the Vedānta-sūtra with the Govinda-bhāṣya, the songs of the ācāryas. A conversation about the śāstras stops resting on what the model remembers.
- Every quotation arrives with an exact citation, a link to the verse and a version hash, so it can be checked.
- Word-by-word breakdowns of thirty thousand verses: an assistant can explain the Sanskrit word by word instead of paraphrasing a translation.
- When the library has no answer, the server says so — rather than offering a loosely related verse as the one you asked for.

Free, no key required. Read-only — the server changes nothing.
