Each drawing has three files: an SVG, a PNG of that SVG, and a standalone HTML page. The disclaimer is inside all three.
A moving dot means reading order. If you asked the browser to reduce motion, the dot is hidden and the boxes stay.
Counts on a chart are from the JSON files. A mind map is a map of this app, not a claim about history.

The fourteen Māheśvara lines
Devanāgarī and parsed sounds from data/maheshvara.json. The IAST field is script-converted and is not printed in this grid.
Sounds on lines 1 to 4
These are the sounds arrays on lines 1–4. This drawing does not call them a vowel chart.
Sounds on lines 5 to 14
First sound of each later line, from the file. Not a place-of-articulation chart.
This file has 75 Kashmir lines
The second bar is zero because this app does not know which lines differ from the other recension. The meta note trails off. Confirm before relying.
Dating notes that were actually opened
Paraphrase of the English Wikipedia Pāṇini article, checked 2026-10-16. Dates are disputed there.

Counted from data/ashtadhyayi.json. Chapter 1 only, four sections. The other chapters are counted on the adhyāya chart.
Kashmir unmeṣa lengths
Counted from the unmesha field in data/shiva_sutras_kashmir.json. The file meta writes 20+10+45. The other recension is not in this file.
Rows that carry a word split
