When I first began reading the Śatakatraya, I turned to PDFs and a handful of sites. None of them quite felt right (to me at least). Some offered no English meaning at all, and others were simply not convenient to read.

So I began gathering the verses and shaping a translation for my own use, and that slowly became this site. I am its first reader, and every verse here sits the way I wished to find it; Devanagari, IAST, English meaning, chhanda (poetic metre) & theme, together in one place. I hope it serves you equally well. What I promise you right now is that I will keep refining it in the coming days.

This site is still in beta and under active development. I am cross-checking each verse manually, and a Sanskrit scholar is also reviewing the content, so you may still find mistakes in a verse or its meaning. If you spot a bug or an error, or have a suggestion, please reach out to me through the email.

This site rests on the generous work of others. The verses, the translation and the tools behind it are not mine, and all credit belongs to their original creators. My sincere thanks to everyone who keeps these texts easily available. The resources that guided and supported this project are listed below:

Digital Satakatraya is designed, developed and maintained independently by @glansaroj. Every suggestion, correction and word of feedback is always welcome, as it helps make this site better for everyone.

This reader is free and will stay free (forever), but it takes many late nights of proofreading, researching along with ongoing maintenance. If you find value in my work, your support or sponsorship would be deeply appreciated. It also funds what comes next. (I'm planning to add more classics, e.g., Kālidāsa's Ṛtusaṃhāra & Patañjali's Yogasūtras)
