• 2026-10-16browse_workadded

  Walk a work's structure in order: a work gives its sections, a section its chapters, a chapter its verses (label and translation, in pages). Use it when the user wants to read a chapter or a book through, asks what comes after a verse, or what a book contains; search_texts cannot do that. Three steps, each named in the reply of the one before: `work` alone lists the sections; add `section` for its chapters; add `chapter` (the `index` from the listing) for its verses. Every reply carries `next`, the arguments of the call that continues. To quote a verse, call get_verse with its `unit_id`: it returns the citation and version hash.

• 2026-10-16find_similar_verseschangeddescription
  before

  Given a verse, find other passages in the library that say something close to it — by meaning, not by shared words. Use it to check whether a teaching appears elsewhere before presenting it as the tradition's position, to gather parallel places, or to see how different works treat one subject. Set `exclude_same_work` when you want an independent witness: the next verse of the same chapter is nearly always similar and proves nothing. An empty result is a real answer — it means the library says this in one place only.

  Given a verse, find other passages in the library that say something close to it — by meaning, not by shared words. Start here when you already have a verse; when you only have words, a question or a term, use search_texts. Use it to check whether a teaching appears elsewhere before presenting it as the tradition's position, to gather parallel places, or to see how different works treat one subject. Set `exclude_same_work` when you want an independent witness: the next verse of the same chapter is nearly always similar and proves nothing.

• 2026-10-16get_versechangeddescription
  before

  Fetch one verse whole: the Sanskrit in Devanāgarī and IAST, the word-by-word breakdown with the meaning each word carries in this passage, the literary translation, the commentary, and optionally the surrounding verses. Call it after search_texts when you are going to quote, and whenever the user names a verse. The word-by-word table is what lets you explain or re-translate a line honestly instead of trusting a finished translation. Accepts citations as people write them, not only internal ids.

  Fetch one verse whole: the Sanskrit in Devanāgarī and IAST, the word-by-word breakdown with the meaning each word carries in this passage, the literary translation, the commentary, and optionally the surrounding verses.

The word-by-word table is what lets you explain or re-translate a line honestly instead of trusting a finished translation. Accepts citations as people write them, not only internal ids. To read a chapter or a whole book in order, use browse_work. To read on around one verse, call this again with `context` 5 and then with the `unit_id` of the last neighbour marked "after"; each reply carries the five verses on either side with their translations.

• 2026-10-16search_textschangeddescription
  before

  Search the Vedaword library of Sanskrit scripture by meaning as well as by wording, so a paraphrased question works and a Sanskrit term reaches passages written in another script. This is the first thing to call for any factual question about what the scriptures say. Returns passages with an exact citation, a URL and the version hash of the text quoted. Read `confidence` before using the results. "none" means the library has no answer and the result list is empty — report that to the user instead of reaching for something related. "low" means the passages are leads, not answers. `matched_by` says how each was found: a passage found only by "vector" shares no words with the query.

  Search the Vedaword library of Sanskrit scripture by meaning as well as by wording, so a paraphrased question works and a Sanskrit term reaches passages written in another script. This is the first thing to call for any factual question about what the scriptures say. Start here when you have words: a question, a phrase, a term. When you already have a verse and want its parallels, use find_similar_verses instead; to read a known verse whole, use get_verse; to read a chapter or a book in order, use browse_work. Returns passages with an exact citation, a URL and the version hash of the text quoted. Read `confidence` before using the results.

• 2026-10-14list_authorsadded

  List the authors the tradition names, grouped by period, each with a short note and the books credited to them. Call it when the user asks who wrote something, or wants the works of one acharya; pass the author's `id` to list_works to see the books. Filter by `era`: shruti, classical, caitanya, successors, modern.

• 2026-10-14list_workschangeddescription, input schema
  before

  List the works with their sizes, structure and available languages. Call it once at the start of a conversation about scripture, or when you need work slugs for filtering. It also tells you what is not translated: several works exist only in Russian. Check `languages` before promising the user an English text.

  after · 60% of words in common

  List the works with their sizes, shelf, author and available languages. Call it at the start of a conversation about scripture, or when you need work slugs for filtering. The list is short by default: no descriptions. Narrow it with `category` (a shelf: itihasa, purana, upanishad, vedanta, samhita, shastra, kavya, shruti, smriti; `shruti` is the upanishad shelf, `smriti` the itihasa and purana shelves) or with `author` (an id from list_authors). Set `include_descriptions` for a paragraph on each work. It also tells you what is not translated: several works exist only in Russian. Check `languages` before promising the user an English text.
