Sanskrit Song Generator
Bhajans, devotional songs and modern songs sung in Sanskrit, from the Devanagari text you paste or from a short description of the song you want.
Sanskrit has been sung for as long as it has been written down. Shlokas are set to chhandas that carry a rhythm of their own, bhajans and stotras have been sung in temples and homes for centuries, and new Sanskrit songs are written today for schools, festivals, weddings and even pop and lo-fi. Autunes lets you make a song sung in Sanskrit from your own Devanagari text, with the voice and the instruments you choose.
Paste the lyrics, one line per line, or describe the song in English or Hindi and Autunes writes the Sanskrit words for you. Ask for a quiet bhajan with tanpura and harmonium, a temple-style devotional song with bells and mridangam, a Sanskrit song for a school assembly, or a modern track with a piano and a soft beat under a Sanskrit vocal.
Sanskrit is open on every plan, including the free plan, and every finished vocal is transcribed and checked against your text so you can see whether each line was sung the way it was written. A finished song can become a lyric video with the Devanagari words on screen for WhatsApp status, Reels or YouTube.
Why creators choose Autunes
Sanskrit on every plan
Sanskrit is one of 57 vocal languages on Autunes, and it is available on every plan, including the free plan. Lyrics are sung from Devanagari, so the text you paste is the text the singer reads.
Bhajans to modern songs
Make a devotional song with tanpura, harmonium, flute and temple bells, or a modern Sanskrit song with piano, strings, acoustic guitar or a light beat. Name the style and the mood and the arrangement follows.
Every line checked
Every finished vocal is transcribed and compared with its lyrics, so a dropped syllable or a misread word shows up. On Pro and Creator, Auto-Fix (10 credits) re-records only the lines that came out wrong, and Re-sing lets you pick the lines to redo yourself.
Lyrics written for you
No text yet? Describe the song, who it is for and what it should say, and Autunes writes the Sanskrit lyrics for you.
Lyric videos and short cuts
Turn a finished song into a lyric video with the Devanagari words on screen, in portrait or landscape, and cut a 15, 30 or 60-second version for a status, a Reel or a Short.
What you can make in Sanskrit
Start with what the song is for. The more you say about the occasion, the voice and the instruments, the closer the first version comes to what you hear in your head.
- Bhajans and kirtan: a slow Sanskrit bhajan to Shiva, Krishna, Rama or Devi, or a call-and-response kirtan with a group chorus.
- Devotional songs for the home: a morning song for the puja room, a song for a housewarming, a song for a festival such as Diwali, Navratri, Janmashtami or Maha Shivaratri.
- Shlokas set to music: a short shloka sung as a melody rather than recited. For mantras and chanting, see the shloka and mantra page; for full stotras, Long Forms.
- Modern Sanskrit songs: Sanskrit lyrics over pop, lo-fi, acoustic or orchestral music, for a school function, Sanskrit Day, a wedding or a birthday.
- Songs for children: simple Sanskrit verses with a clear tune, for learning at home or in class.
- Try: 'Sanskrit bhajan to Lord Shiva, male vocal, tanpura drone, harmonium and soft mridangam, slow and meditative, 70 BPM.'
- Try: 'Modern Sanskrit song about the morning sun, female vocal, piano and light strings, calm lo-fi beat, uplifting.'
- Try: 'Sanskrit song for a school assembly on Sanskrit Day, children's chorus, simple tune, tabla and harmonium, joyful.'
- Try: 'Sanskrit Krishna bhajan, female vocal with a small group on the refrain, flute, harmonium and manjira, gentle and sweet.'
- Try: 'Sanskrit birthday song for my daughter, warm female vocal, acoustic guitar and soft percussion, happy and simple.'
Writing Sanskrit lyrics that sing well
The singer reads exactly what you paste, so a little care with the text goes a long way. Mark the parts with [Verse], [Chorus] and [Bridge] if you want a clear song shape, and repeat the refrain where it should come back.
If Autunes writes the lyrics for you, read them before you sing them, and if Sanskrit matters to you for study or worship, have someone who knows Sanskrit look over the words.
- Write in Devanagari, not in English letters, and keep the visarga (ः) and anusvara (ं) exactly as they are in the text: नमः, देवाय नमः, यजामहे, शान्तिः.
- Put one shloka line (one pada or half-verse) on each line, so the melody breathes where the verse breathes.
- The danda (।) and double danda (॥) are fine to keep; they mark the end of a half-verse and a verse.
- Split very long compounds across two lines for clearer singing, for example जटाटवीगलज्जल on one line and प्रवाहपावितस्थले on the next.
- Repeat a line in the text if you want it sung again, such as a closing ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः.

How ownership works
Can AI sing songs in Sanskrit?
Yes. Pick Sanskrit as the vocal language, paste your Devanagari lyrics or describe the song, and Autunes sings it with the voice and instruments you ask for. Sanskrit is available on every plan, including the free plan.
Is it free?
Yes, you can start free. New accounts get 15 free credits once, on signup. A song costs 10 credits on Zori5 Turbo and 15 on Zori5.5 XL, and on the free plan XL is used when you paste your own lyrics, so the free credits cover one song sung from your own Sanskrit text. Free songs run up to 3 minutes and are for personal use.
Do I have to write the lyrics in Devanagari?
It is the best way. Write the lyrics in Devanagari with the visarga (ः) and anusvara (ं) as they are in the text, one line per line. Text in English letters is harder for the singer to read the way you mean it.
Can Autunes write the Sanskrit lyrics for me?
Yes. If you have no text, describe the song, what it is about and who it is for, and Autunes writes the lyrics. If the Sanskrit matters for study or worship, have someone who knows Sanskrit read them over.
How do I know every word was sung?
Every finished vocal is transcribed and compared with its lyrics, so a dropped syllable or a misread word shows up. On Pro and Creator, Auto-Fix (10 credits) re-records only the lines that came out wrong, and Re-sing lets you pick the lines to redo yourself.
How long can a Sanskrit song be?
Songs run up to 3 minutes on Free and Pro and up to 5 minutes on Creator. Long Forms, on Pro and Creator, builds 7-15 minute devotional pieces verse by verse for 30 credits. From any finished song you can cut a 15, 30 or 60-second version.
Can I use the song in a video or a programme?
Free songs are for personal use. To download a song with its licence, pay ₹9 in India (US$1.79, €1.59 or £1.29 abroad), or use Pro (₹599) or Creator (₹2,999), which include downloads and a commercial licence for 30 days. Passes never auto-renew.
Will it sound like a famous singer?
No. Autunes does not copy any real singer's or chanter's voice. You choose the kind of voice (male, female, a group, soft or full) and the instruments, and the piece is sung by Autunes's own voices.
