स्रोतProvenance

Every reading path returns to a source.

A word meaning is not self-evident. A translation is not anonymous. A recording is not ambience. granth keeps the record of each one attached to the passage.

Primary text
Editorial material, never generated copy.
Interpretations
Named, attributed, and kept separable.

AI explanations are labelled, cited, and open to correction.

आरम्भNotes from the desk

Before you begin.

Do I need to read Devanagari?

No. Begin in IAST and switch scripts whenever it helps. The locator, word selection, and reading notes stay aligned.

Is granth a translation?

No. It is an AI companion for understanding a text while keeping primary text, language analysis, translations, commentaries, and source records visibly distinct.
