Sanskrit Dictionary: Words Starting With Letter O

Formatterd by Jayaram V

Summary: This Sanskrit dictionary section presents words and phrases beginning with the letter O, organized phonetically for accessibility to English readers. The dictionary contains commonly used Sanskrit terms essential to Hindu philosophy and sacred texts, arranged according to phonetic sounds rather than strict alphabetical order to account for Sanskrit sounds that lack English equivalents. Readers will find translations and references to Hindu spiritual and philosophical terminology throughout this comprehensive lexical resource.

Editor's Note: Readers please be noted that this Sanskrit Dictionary has been arranged according to the phonetic sounds rather than letters. There is a vast difference between English and Sanskrit alphabet. There are certain sounds which have no equivalent letters in English. For example, gna (as in gnana), sha (as in shanmukha), sa (as in sastra), dh (dhadhichi), r^ (as in ritu), lla (as in kalaa), au (as in aushadhi) and so on. For easy reference and the convenience of English readers, we have rearranged the Sanskrit words in the order of English Alphabet to the extent possible. So, when you search for specific words, look for the approximately sounding letters. This dictionary contains most commonly used words, but it is not complete.
