Getting a Shloka (verse)

The verse param we took is not just a verse. It is an object containing more properties. In the code below you're gonna know about the verse object.

bg.fetchVerse('2:64').then(verse => {
  const translations = verse.translate({ lamguage: 'english', limit: 2 });
  
  translations.forEach(translation => {
    const text = translation.text; // The translation
    const author = translation.author; // The one who translated it
    console.log(`${text} \n Translated by ${author}`);
  });

  // The Sanskrit Shaloka
  const verseText = verse.text;  
  // रागद्वेषवियुक्तैस्तु विषयानिन्द्रियैश्चरन्।
  // आत्मवश्यैर्विधेयात्मा प्रसादमधिगच्छति।।2.64।

  // The word meanings of the shloka :
  const wordMeanings = verse.wordMeaning;  
})

• the reference you would provide should be like chapter:verse where both chapter & verse are in numbers
• for example, in 1:2, 1 is the chapter number and 2 is the shloka number.
• the verse.translate it translates the fetched verse. Currently only two languages are supported, which are Hindi and English.
• the limit option is given so that you can fetch multiple translations by multiple scholars. Each shloka has around 10 - 15 different translations max.
  • due to the limit option, the translation(s) are provided in array format. Means even if you've set limit to 1, you need to treat it as array. Like arr[0]

Fetching Chapter

The code below fetches chapter and some information about it.

bg.fetchChapter('2').then(chapter => {
  /* Name */
  const english_name = chapter.name.english; // Sankhya Yoga
  const sanskrit_name = chapter.name.sanskrit; // सांख्ययोग'

  /* Summary */
  const english_summary = chapter.summary.english;
  const hindi_summary = chapter.summary.hindi;

  /* General Info */
  const verses = chapter.verseCount; // 72
  const number = chapter.numer; // 2
});

• the chapter name is availibe in two lamguages - Hindi and Sanskrit
• you can get summary of a chapter in two languages - Hindi and English
• i hope the general info part is self-explanatory
