Index for BHĀGAVATAPURĀṆA, Bombay edition.

[funderburkjim]

Preparation of an index for this, as needed for #81 bombay edition.

@AnnaRybakovaT
There are two volumes.
Here is a link to pdf for volume 1 (~600MB):

@Andhrabharati This differs from the original link you provided, in that the pages have been rotated 90 degrees.

Anna, Andhrabharati prepared an index for the Burnouf edition of BhP

Your task will be to construct a similar index for bombay edition.

The index will be used by an application which shows the page for a given skandha, adhyAya and verse. For example, with the burnouf version : https://sanskrit-lexicon-scans.github.io/bhagp_bur/app1/?2,4,6

For now, just familarize yourself with the above.

@Andhrabharati I don't yet understand this Indian version. Perhaps you could provide an introduction that will help Anna get started.

Here is the 'manifest'.

Title: Bhagavatá-Purana: in 12 Books. (Printed with moveable type).

conjecture: the smaller Devanagari is Commentary by Sridharaswamin,.
And the larger Devanagari is the text of BhP. Our index will be based on the larger Devanagari.

@Andhrabharati I don't yet understand this Indian version. Perhaps you could provide an introduction that will help Anna get started.

Jim/Anna,

I would suggest starting with the skandhas 10-12, that were not in the Burnouf edition. (So, you need to share that as well, as modified by you.)

If this is agreed upon, I can put more of my thoughts about the task.

I can put more of my thoughts about the task

Dear all,
I am waiting for an access to download the files with 2 volumes and your further recommendations regarding this task.

[AnnaRybakovaT]

A copy of volume 2 is:

Dear Jim,
Thanks a lot, I have downloaded both volumes.

My first qustion is about numeration of pages. For example: the 1st volume, book's page 1 is located on two pdf pages - 11 and 12. Does it have sence for our Index (I mean to use 1a and 1b, for example) - or just to put number 1?

[funderburkjim]

Anna, for our current purposes, the pdf page number is what is needed.

You pointed out that the 'internal' pages appear to be in two parts. Although I don't understand the purpose of this,
It seems that the 'internal' page numbers 'start over' after the 'decorative-pages' at skandha breaks.

The Burnouf index has 6 fields; you could add a 7th field 'ipage' using '1a, 1b, etc' for these internal page numbers.

volume	page	sk.	adhy.	from v.	to v.
volume	page	ipage	sk.	adhy.	from v.	to v.

@Andhrabharati Would this internal page number have some future use?

It might be useful to make a separate 'skandha_pages.txt' file such as

1 8 अथश्रीमद्भागवतेप्रथमस्कंध्ःप्रारभ्यते 
1 115 अथश्रीमद्भागवतेप्रथमस्कंध्ःसमाप्तः

There are some variations to this form, whose significance is unclear to me. For instance there are two parts to 10th skandha पूर्व उत्तर, and there is a final माहात्म्य section in volume 2.

---

There are some 'skew' pages. Suggest you make a separate 'skew_pages.txt' file containing volume/page for these. There may be some way to 'straighten' these.

---

In the Burnouf edition, some verses appear partly at the bottom of one page and partly at the top of the next page. @Andhrabharati used the pada designations a,b,c,d in which such a verse appears on two lines of the index. I haven't noticed this phenomenon in the Bombay edition, but it may happen.
