Help — Using Grantha.io

Grantha.io is a digital library of the complete works of Śrīmadānandatīrtha Bhagavatpādācārya (Madhvācārya) — bhāṣyas, prakaraṇas, and ṭīkās — presented in a clean, readable format with support for multiple Indian scripts.

Reading the Texts

Script Switcher

Every page has a script selector in the toolbar at the top. You can read all texts in:

Devanāgarī — the default Sanskrit script
English — IAST romanisation with diacritics
Kannada · Tamil · Telugu — South Indian scripts

Your script choice is saved automatically and applies across all pages and browser tabs.

Mūlam and Ullekha

Two navigation buttons appear at the top of the table of contents for bhāṣya texts:

Mūlam (मूलम्): Shows only the source verses — sūtras or ślokas — without commentary prose. Useful for recitation or quick reference.

Ullekha (उल्लेख): An index of all scriptural passages cited in the bhāṣya, grouped by source (Skanda Purāṇa, Mahābhārata, etc.). Clicking any citation jumps to that exact passage in the main text and highlights it.

Page Buttons

Three buttons are fixed at the bottom-right of every page:

Document Navigator — opens a searchable list of all available texts. Click any title to go there directly.

Comments and Bookmarks — opens the side panel showing all comments and bookmarks on this page.

Scroll to top — returns to the top of the page.

Both features work on desktop and mobile.
