This project aims to digitize the complete works of Madhvacharya (ca.1238-1317 CE) ( IAST: Madhvācārya, Sanskrit: मध्वाचार्य ) in machine-readable formats. The project is hosted on Bitbucket. So you are free to download it. All the works are copyrighted and licensed under the Non-Profit Open Software License version 3.0. Currently, 16 works are almost complete. Nightly snapshot can be downloaded here (sarvamula.zip).
The file structure, naming and numbering schemes are described in detail on a separate page. The texts are encoded using an extended Harvard-Kyoto transliteration scheme. The focus is on ease of use for computer linguistic analysis, not formatting or printing. The text is encoded so that automated searching and sorting, sandhi analysis and lexical indexing are eased. PDF and HTML are practically useless formats for such scholarly purposes. However, a set of programs automatically parse the text and convert it to various formats (HTML, Roman Unicode, PDF) or scripts (Devanagari, Kannada, Telugu, Gujarati, Oriya, Malayalam) for other usage.
This project is primarily based on the scanned images available at the Digital Library of India:
There is also a Vol 3 (containing Mahābhārata Tātparya Nirṇaya and Bhāgavata Tātparya) but it is not publicly available. The following two are used only as a reference:
The following 37 works of Madhva shall be encoded in the first phase:
