BEFORE YOU OPEN A BOOK
A few things
worth knowing.
What am I reading?
Stored English source editions from the PuranGPT library. Each passage keeps its source reference and translator information where supplied. Source edition notes are shown separately from the passage.
Do I need an account?
You can read immediately. Reading position and bookmarks are saved in this browser. They are not yet synced between devices.
Can I read on my phone?
Yes. This version is a mobile web app. Use your browser’s Add to Home Screen option to keep it nearby.
Are these complete, reviewed editions?
The app presents the stored source material and marks known gaps. The Viṣṇu edition is missing its final listed chapter. A full scholarly and translation review is separate from this first reading release.
Can I keep reading without internet?
This first version loads chapters online. Downloadable offline editions are part of the next stage; saved bookmarks and reading position already remain on your device.
ONE PASSAGE IS A BEGINNING.
