Take the whole thing

A library that cannot be copied out of is not a library, it is a collection. Everything here is downloadable in bulk, without an account, without a key and without asking. Copies in other people's hands are the only preservation that has ever actually worked, which is the entire lesson of the eleven surviving śākhās out of one thousand one hundred and thirty one.

By work

The registries

• index.json, the manifest: counts, licence position, every endpoint shape.
• works.json, every work with its reference scheme.
• sources.json, every source with its full bibliographic chain and licence.

Working with it

curl -O https://sanatan.digital/api/v1/bulk/rigveda.jsonl

# every verse where two editions disagree
jq -r 'select(.agreement == "divergent") | .id' rigveda.jsonl

# every verse still waiting for a signed translation
jq -r 'select([.translations[] | select(.status == "signed")] | length == 0)
       | .id' rigveda.jsonl

Mirroring

Please do. If you run a mirror and tell us athi@432labs.com, it gets listed here. A single point of failure is exactly the thing this project exists to argue against.
