Impressive.
Isn't this a version of DhatupATam?

[srkris]

Yes I think, is there any other listing of sanskrit roots current?

A treasure trove indeed for a serious indological research!
Interesting the collection includes other Indian languages!

Dear all,
This is an ongoing interest area for me. My research tells me that the format used in most printed materials uses IAST.
Wikipedia states:

The International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration (IAST) is a subset of the ISO 15919 standard, used for the transliteration of Sanskrit, Prakrit and Pāḷi into Roman script with diacritics. IAST is a widely used standard. It uses diacritics to differentiate between retroflex and dental consonants (e.g. making dental द=d and retroflex ड=ḍ, which is more readable but requires diacritic printing).

I propose to use IAST going forward in writing . Here is a character map:



Now, how to type a shloka in this IAST and paste it here in this post?
Let me show you.
Go to http://www.lexilogos.com/keyboard/sanskrit_latin.htm
Start typing your usual way in the box. Remember, variants of a letter appear as you type = sign after that letter. eg."sādhana pañcakaṃ" is the output as I type "sa=dhana pan===cakam="

Let me type some more:
akhaṇḍamaṇḍalākāraṃ vyāptaṃ yena carācaraṃ
tatpadaṃ darśitaṃ yena tasmai śrīgurave namaḥ

After you type the text in that box, use control-c and then paste in the post here using control-v.
