How Vedyatra chooses, presents and corrects its texts: the source text is never altered, every claim is sourced, and the review status of every translation is shown.
The text comes first
We never alter, shorten or soften the Sanskrit text. Each verse follows a named edition, and where editions differ we say so.
Sources for everything
Every translation names its translator, its source and its licence. Introductions keep apart what tradition holds and what historians estimate, and give both.
Review status is always shown
Each translation carries its status: verified by a scholar, reviewed, or a machine draft awaiting review. Machine drafts are produced with AI language models and are marked on every page where they appear.
Many traditions, no sect
Vedyatra belongs to no sect or organisation. Commentary is always shown separately from the text and labelled with its tradition, and no single school's reading is presented as the only one.
Sensitive passages
Some passages deal with caste, gender, war or violence. We do not remove or rewrite them. Where context helps, we add a clearly labelled note.
Corrections
If you find a mistake in a text, a translation or a note, write to info@hemangvyas.com with the verse or page. Corrections are reviewed, made openly, and recorded in the site's changelog.
