Bangalore May 6: National Mission for Manuscripts (NMM) has created a database of over three million manuscripts scattered all over the country, Director NMM, Prof Dipti S Tripathi said today.
Talking to newspersons here after inaugurating a workshop on 'Importance of Kadatas and Its Conservation' organised jointly by Karnataka State Archives and NMM here today, Prof Tripathi said creating a database of over 3 million manuscripts was an herculean task.
She said that while NMM was continuing its job on creating database on ancient manuscripts, paintings and books which not only reflects country's history, heritage and culture, was not indulged in dissemination of knowledge contained and concealed in the database.
She said as a first step NMM had planned to publish the Sanskrit manuscript 'Soundarya Lahari' originally scripted by Adi Shankara, praising the almighty for having created the universe and its creatures. The publication of Soundarya Lahari containing 100 'slokas' would be done in three languages including English, Hindi and Gujarati. The original script on 'Soundarya Lahari', which was in Sanskrit was handed over to NMM from a Gujarati citizen and hence it was also being published in the local language, she said.
The NMM had chosen to publish the facsimile version of'Bhagawat Purana' dated to Moghul period which was scripted in Persian language, she said.
