### Bhagavad Gita Quotes

A Raycast extension that lets you read, search, and understand quotes from the Bhagavad Gita directly from your launcher.

#### Features

- **Read & Browse**: Navigate through all 18 chapters and their respective verses.
- **Search**: Find specific keywords within chapters and verses.
- **Sanskrit Verses**: View original Sanskrit slokas alongside translations (can be toggled in preferences).
- **Multiple Data Sources**: Choose between the free Vedic Scriptures API or the RapidAPI Bhagavad Gita API.
- **AI Integrations (Optional)**: Use Raycast AI to:
  - Summarize chapters in your preferred language.
  - Philosophically explain verses and discuss modern-day applications.
  - Translate verses directly into your preferred language.
  - Find a comparable quote for the currently viewed Bhagavad Gita verse from a selected scripture:
    - Bible
    - Quran
    - Torah
    - Dhammapada
- **Customization**:
  - Choose your preferred target language for AI features.
  - Customize the theme color of the extension's icons.

#### Raycast AI Requirements (Important)

This extension can be used fully without AI (read/browse/search). The AI actions (Summarize / Explain / Translate / Comparable Quote) use the Raycast AI API.

- **If you don’t have Raycast AI** (for example: no Pro subscription, or AI isn’t available on your platform), those actions will show an in-app message explaining that AI isn’t available.
- **No external AI API key is required** for these AI actions (they use Raycast AI).
- **Accuracy notice**: AI-generated comparable scripture matches may not be 100% accurate; verify with primary scripture sources.

#### Preferences

- **Color Scheme**: Choose the theme color for icons (Blue, Green, Purple, Orange, Red). Default is Orange.
- **Show Sanskrit**: Determine whether or not the original Sanskrit verses are displayed.
- **API Source**: Pick between the Vedic Scriptures (no API key required) or RapidAPI (API key required).
- **RapidAPI Key**: Provide your API key if you opted for the RapidAPI source.
- **AI Target Language**: Select the target language for AI-generated summaries, translations, and explanations (supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Hindi, and more).
