About Ambuda
Ambuda is a web library of Sanskrit texts that presents each work with word-by-word analysis and integrated dictionary support. The collection is organized into groups such as the Upanishads and Vedanta, and it currently focuses mainly on the Advaita Vedanta tradition, with stated plans to expand.
The Upanishads section lists 80 texts, divided into the mukhya (primary) Upanishads, the muktikā canon of 108 Upanishads, and Upanishads outside that canon. The latter group is described as very rare and largely drawn from the manuscript collection at the Adyar Library. The Vedanta section lists 30 texts, including 28 introductory works in Advaita Vedanta, many attributed to Adi Shankaracharya.
