OpenArtha is a growing home for primary texts and the evidence around them. Start with the Bhagavad Gita: 700 verses, clear provenance, and room for many readings.

Your business is with action alone not by any means with fruit. Let not the fruit of action be your motive (to action). Let not your attachment be (fixed) on inaction.
Each record includes a stable reference, source locator, text attribution, checksum, and clear review status. The 700-verse structure passes automated checks. Independent human review is still in progress.
