अष्टाध्यायी अनुवृत्ति #5

Closed drdhaval2785 closed 6 years ago

drdhaval2785 commented 7 years ago

Typical entry looks like this. अग्रिमम् and प्राक्तनम् are superfluous in my view. They can be avoided. It will save file storage size and more important display will be better in stardict readers

7.2.115 ७.२.११५

अचो ञ्णिति

सानुवृत्ति - अचः ञ्णिति वृद्धिः

अग्रिमम् - ७.२.११६

प्राक्तनम् - ७.२.११४

विषयः - वृद्धि-प्रकरणम् ञ्णिति

Dict entries are now being compressed into .dz files - so removal would not have a significant effect.

As to display: could you provide an example of how the above entry should look?

In my samsung S7 with colordict, majority of screen is covered by this agrimam and praktanam. If this useless data can be removed, data would be more readable and compact. screenshot_20170223-211044

You mean it should look like:

7.2.115
७.२.११५
अचो ञ्णिति

अचः ञ्णिति वृद्धिः
७.२.११६
७.२.११४
वृद्धि-प्रकरणम् ञ्णिति

I think that this would be less understandable for occasional lookups, and other users may not like it. So, I'll wait until I get more feedback.

No.. no by all means. what i need is

7.2.115 ७.२.११५ अचो ञ्णिति

अचः ञ्णिति वृद्धिः वृद्धि-प्रकरणम् ञ्णिति

Why do we need to have those two numbers ७.२.११६ and ७.२.११४?

vvasuki commented 7 years ago

Ah I see.

Why do we need to have those two numbers ७.२.११६ and ७.२.११४?

Here's why: सूत्रस्य कस्यचिद् विवरणं कोशेषु पश्यन्नसीति कल्पय। बहुधा, अग्रिमं सूत्रं द्रष्टव्यम् इति वा, प्राक्तनं सूत्रं द्रष्टव्यमिति वा भवति मनीषा - नन्व् अष्टाध्यायी प्रकरणशो व्यवस्थितः। सत्येवम्, अग्रिमसूत्रसङ्ख्याया नोदनेन, झटित्य् अग्रिमं सूत्रं गन्तुम् शक्यम्। अन्यथा, पुनः पुनः सङ्ख्याया उट्टङ्कनम्/ लेपनम्, परिवर्तनम् चेति कृत्वैवाग्रे पृष्टतो वा गन्तुं शक्ष्यति जनः। तन्ननु क्लेशाय। (TLDR - So, you can easily move to next and previous sUtra)

BTW, you should consider using the quote formatting and preview features better while posting on github :-)
