Sanskrit Lexicon: Dictionary

Plain-English meanings and original dictionary sources across 250,000+ Sanskrit words. Ask Siri, search in any script, and learn a curated Word of the Day.

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.

UNDERSTAND FIRST. STUDY DEEPLY.

• Start with a readable Simplified definition. • Switch any card to Scholar view for the 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. • Add Look Up, Word of the Day, and Open Word actions in Shortcuts. • Find favorites, recent words, and phrases from personal notes in Spotlight. • Put the Word of the Day widget on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. • Continue reading across devices with iCloud sync and Handoff.
