If you are new to the glossary, visit its Help Page.

The Glossary section contains headings on Indian names and terms, with linguistic information (various transliterations of the original language), a brief description, and links to other articles on the site that contain info related to the heading. The glossary is integrated with all the rest of the site, so glossary terms can be referenced from any of the other articles, and all other articles are indexed by the glossary. In a while registered members will also be able to submit glossary entries, even stubs that do not have complete linguistic information. Just submit a word you want to know about and we'll try to look it up and publish it here.
