Kāvyas are long, sarga-divided compositions, and many reach us with a ṭīkā that is as important as the poem. Each work here is read sarga by sarga. The commentary stays out of the way until you open it.

Mūla & ṭīkāShow the commentary for every verse, one verse at a time, or not at all. Pratīkas are highlighted.
ChandasEach verse's metre is identified by scansion. A per-sarga profile and a chandas index come with it.
SamasyāIn a poem built on another poem's lines, each borrowed line is marked and the source poem is rebuilt from them.
Four scriptsDevanagari, IAST, ISO-15919 and Harvard-Kyoto. Parallel view puts two scripts together.
