+# Panini Tokenizer
+
+**The first grammar-first Sanskrit tokenizer based on Pāṇinian morphological analysis.**
+
+## 🚨 The Problem
+
+Statistical tokenizers (BPE/WordPiece) systematically underperform on Sanskrit because they do not model **Sandhi**(phonetic fusion).
+
+* **Standard Models (BERT/Qwen):** fracture complex words into phonetic noise (`##k`, `##z`, `##ab`).
+* **Panini Tokenizer:** uses recursive morphological parsing to recover the original **semantic roots** (`nirapekza` + `jYAna`).
+
+## ⚡ Key Features
+
+* 🔤 **Vocab:** 128k dictionary-backed tokens (Monier-Williams).
+* 🔄 **Sandhi Reversal:** Automatically splits fused compounds (e.g., `t` → `d`, `i` → `y`).
+* 🧩 **Semantic Atomicism:** Preserves complex philosophical concepts as single tokens. This aligns token boundaries with linguistic meaning, reducing gradient noise during training.
+* 📉 **Efficiency:** Reduces token count by **2-4x** compared to multilingual models.
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+No custom installation required. Use directly with Hugging Face `transformers`:
+**Note:** The model expects **SLP1 transliteration** (e.g., `vidyA`), not Devanagari.
+```python
+from transformers import AutoTokenizer
+
+# Load with trust_remote_code=True because of custom logic
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
+    "ArthaLabs/panini-tokenizer",
+    trust_remote_code=True
+)
+
+# Tokenize complex Sandhi compounds (SLP1 input)
+text = "nirapekzajYAnasAkzAtkArasAmarthyam"
+tokens = tokenizer.tokenize(text)
+
+print(tokens)
+```
+
+## 📊 Benchmarks: The "Context Dividend"
+
+By strictly adhering to grammar, Panini Tokenizer drastically reduces sequence length, effectively **tripling the context window** for downstream tasks.
+
+| Input Compound | **Panini (Ours)** | Google MuRIL | Qwen2 |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `nirapekzajYAnasAkzAtkArasAmarthyam` | **6** | 18 | 25 |
+| `tadekaniScitArthavyavasthApanam` | **6** | 13 | 18 |
+| `svaprakASatvaparaprakASavyavacCedaH` | **7** | 15 | 22 |
+| `svAtantryAbhAvasamucchinnakartRtvanirAsaH` | **8** | 19 | 25 |
+
+### Visual Comparison
+
+**Input:** *Independent-knowledge-direct-realization-capacity*
+
+* **Panini:** `▁nirapekza` | `jYAna` | `sAkzAtkAra` | `sAman` | `arthy` | `am` (6 meaningful roots)
+* **Sanskrit-BERT:** `nirape` | `##k` | `##z` | `##a` | `##jya` | `##nas`... (14 noise fragments)
+
+## 🛠️ Technical Details
+
+* **Architecture:** Recursive Descent Splitter + Kosha (Dictionary) Lookup.
+* **Vocab Size:** 128,000.
+* **Fallback:** Deterministic fallback: character-level only when grammar fails
