Sanskrit translator
Russian into Sanskrit and back. The result is shown in Devanagari, IAST transliteration and the reading with long vowels — plus a back-translation into Russian to check the meaning.
How to use it
- Choose the direction, type a phrase and press Translate.
- On the right, switch the view: Devanagari, IAST, reading — or Back into Russian to check that the meaning survived.
- Below, in Script, ready Sanskrit can be rewritten from one script into another.
Machine translation is a draft. Simple phrases come out sensibly; for mantras and verses, check the back-translation. Everything runs on our server; texts are neither sent anywhere nor stored.

Dictionary
Look up a Sanskrit word — in Devanagari, IAST or the reading — or a Russian word to find Sanskrit ones.
Devanagari ⇄ IAST ⇄ reading
Script
Type in any box — Devanagari, IAST or the Russian reading — and the others fill in by themselves. The notation is the same as in the Tantra Śakti books.
aa → ā · ii → ī · uu → ū · .r → ṛ · .t .d .n → ṭ ḍ ṇ · "s → ś · .s → ṣ · "n → ṅ · ~n → ñ · .m → ṃ · .h → ḥ
These look like Russian words rather than Sanskrit. The reading box is for Sanskrit written in Russian letters, e.g. «намах шива̄йа». Translation of words will come with the dictionary.
From Devanagari and IAST the reading is exact. Going back from the Russian reading, IAST is restored by rule: Russian script does not tell t/ṭ, d/ḍ, n/ṇ or ś/ṣ apart. IAST has the last word — correct it and the rest follows.

- A bar over a vowel makes it long: ā, ī, ū last twice as long. In Sanskrit e and o are always long.
- ṛ is a vowel, said as a short “ri”; ai and au are single syllables.
- The aspirates kh, gh, th, dh, ph, bh are one sound with a breath, not two.
- ṭ, ḍ, ṇ, ṣ are said with the tongue tip curled back.
- ś and ṣ are both “sh”; ṃ (anusvāra) is a nasal “m”, ḥ (visarga) a light breath “h”.
- There is no stress accent: syllables are even and vowels are never reduced.
