Sanskrit Lexicon is a Sanskrit-English dictionary for readers who want a clear answer without giving up the original scholarship.
Search 250,000+ Sanskrit headwords across 12 classical dictionaries and 9 specialist indexes. Each result begins with a plain-English definition and keeps the complete source text one tap away, organized by meaning instead of scattered across separate references.
FIND THE MEANING THAT FITS
Sanskrit words often carry many meanings. For words with multiple contexts, describe where you encountered the word - a ritual, a story, grammar, poetry, philosophy, law, or another setting - and Sanskrit Lexicon finds the definitions that fit.
• Save the best matches as a personal category at the top of the definition screen.
• See the strongest matches first and remove results you do not need.
• Create multiple saved contexts for a word and revisit them across devices.
• Find saved context titles in Spotlight or open them through Siri and Shortcuts.
• Context searches do not use your daily dictionary-search allowance.
UNDERSTAND FIRST. STUDY DEEPLY.
• Start with a readable Simplified definition.
• Switch any card to Scholar view for original dictionary text, notation, page references, and source links.
• See different senses grouped into clear contexts, with the most common sense first.
SEARCH THE WAY YOU TYPE
• Use Devanagari, IAST, Harvard-Kyoto, Velthuis, WX, SLP1, or plain ASCII.
• Type "krishna" to find kṛṣṇa; no diacritics or special keyboard required.
• Paste an inflected noun or verb to find its root and grammatical analysis.
• Explore noun declension tables without leaving the word.
BUILT INTO YOUR APPLE DEVICES
• Ask Siri to look up a word, read today's word, or open a saved word or context.
• Add Look Up, Word of the Day, and Open Word actions in Shortcuts.
• Find favorites, recent words, saved contexts, and phrases from personal notes in Spotlight.
• Put the Word of the Day widget on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
• Favorite today's word directly from the medium widget without opening the app.
• Continue reading across devices with iCloud sync and Handoff.
