The Göttingen Register of Electronic Texts in Indian Languages (GRETIL) is a comprehensive repository of e-texts in Sanskrit and other Indian languages.[1][2][3] It contains several texts related to Indology, such as philosophical texts.[4] Rather than scanned books or typeset PDF files, these texts are in plain text, in a variety of encodings, and are machine-readable, so that (for instance) word search can be performed on them.[1][5] It was started by Reinhold Grünendahl,[6] with the intention of being a "cumulative register of the numerous download sites for electronic texts in Indian languages".[5] It is used by many scholars; for instance David Smith writes: "Sanskritists are enormously indebted to this incomparably useful site and to those who have contributed e-texts to it."[7]
