Saktumiva

Saktumiva hosts the evolving critical edition of the Suśrutasaṃhitā that is resulting from the study of the Nepalese manuscripts. This is an incremental edition: you see every sentence as we work on it. Using the controls on the left of the screen, and the “collate” button, you can generate various different forms of the critical apparatus, for example to compare our edition with the 1931 vulgate (direct link). The controls on the top right of the screen allow you to display the edition in different scripts (e.g., देवनागरी, తెలుగు లిపి, മലയാളം, etc).

The Saktumiva site also displays the evolving transcription of MS Kathmandu KL 699 and sister manuscripts. Saktumiva allows you to collate KL 699 against other manuscripts and editions in real time.
