The paper introduces grounded glossary generation, a structured NLP task that asks models to recover semantically meaningful Sanskrit phrases and provide translation‑grounded meanings from a sloka‑translation pair, mirroring the traditional patha commentary practice. A benchmark of 31,316 sloka‑translation‑glossary triples from the Valmiki Ramayana and Srimad Bhagavatam is built, evaluated with Jaccard for phrase recovery and Meaning Faithfulness for semantic consistency. Experiments with Gemma‑3n‑E4B, Gemma‑3‑12B, Phi‑4, and Qwen3.5‑9B show that instruction fine‑tuning outperforms prompting, and explicit segmentation further improves results, though over‑segmentation of sandhi and samasa compounds remains the main error source, highlighting morphological modeling as a key bottleneck.

Idioms are difficult to transfer across languages due to their non-compositionality and weak surface-form grounding, making literal mappings unreliable. We present G-IdiomAlign, a gloss-pivoted benchmark where each idiom is anchored by an English gloss from Wiktionary.
Recently, large language models (LLMs) have achieved promising progress in the fields of classical Chinese translation and the generation of classical poetry. However, domain-specific research on precise translation and affective-semantic understanding of classical poetry remains limited.
SuTRA (Structurally-Unified Tokenization with Root Awareness) is a morphology-aware tokenization algorithm designed to address the problem of Morphological Shattering in morphologically rich Indic languages. It preserves the indivisibility of aksharas—complex orthographic syllables—by penalizing merges that cross morphological boundaries, thereby reducing over-fragmentation of words. The authors also release a new morphological segmentation dataset for Hindi, Marathi, and Gujarati, and demonstrate that SuTRA improves morphological alignment by up to 14.7% and semantic recoverability by 34% over BPE, leading to an average machine translation gain of +8.08 chrF2.
