“Yada yada hi dharmasya glanirbhavati bharata

Abhyutthanam adharmasya tadatmanam srijamyaham

Paritranaya sadhunam vinashayacha dushktitam

Dharmasangsthapanarthaya samvabami yuge yuge” — Krishna, Srimadbhagvatgita 4-7/4-8

Srimadbhagvatgita's shlokas are scraped from https://shlokam.org/bhagavad-gita/index/. The original Devnagari script, and IAST are preserved along with its meaning. The data folder is structured such that directories represent chapters with verses consolidated into JSON files.

gitasholka.py is provided for randomly sampling a shloka, displaying it to standard output.
