About this app

Bhāgavata-VāNi is a calm, faithful companion for the daily reading, recitation, and pārāyaṇa of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam —
the great Purāṇa narrated by Śuka to Parīkṣit. The complete mūla text of all twelve skandhas (more than 16,000 ślokas) is
presented for clear, distraction-free reading and listening, beautifully rendered and deeply indexed.

LISTEN AND RECITE
Hear the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam recited, śloka by śloka. Tap any verse to play it, or let an entire chapter flow continuously.
The verse being recited is highlighted so you can read and listen together, and you can adjust the pace. Download any
chapter to listen fully offline.

READ IN YOUR OWN SCRIPT
The Sanskrit verses can be read in ten scripts — Devanagari, IAST (Roman), Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam,
Bengali, Gujarati, and English transliteration. Switch instantly; the whole app, including chapter and section titles,
follows your chosen language.

SEARCH ACROSS EVERY SCRIPT
A powerful two-tier search finds any word, in any script or in plain Roman — type Krishna, Govinda, or dhimahi and reach
the same verses. It is sandhi-tolerant and works across all scripts. Jump straight to any verse by its reference, such as
1.8.21.

the audio chapter by chapter to listen anywhere, even without a connection.

ABOUT THE TEXT
The mula text follows the Madhva (Tatparya) tradition. We are deeply thankful to Poornaprajna Samshodhana Mandiram,
Bengaluru, for generously lending the text of the Srimad Bhagavatam.

The verses are presented in Sanskrit, as they are recited; the app is a reverent reading, listening, and reference tool,
not a commentary.
