The Original Work
‘Abhidhana Rajendra Kosha’ merits recognition as the 20th century’s finest encyclopedic work on Jainism. For generations of scholars, it remains the go-to encyclopedia on Jainism.
A result of the Herculean efforts of Acarya Rajendrasuri, it is a magnificent repository of citations sourced from the widest possible selection of Jain texts belonging to both, the Digambara as well as the Shvetambara traditions. It is a gigantic set of seven volumes, each running into thousands of pages. It covers a substantial selection of Prakrit terms, each explained in Sanskrit using several citations in Prakrit and Sanskrit taken from various Jain texts. It is a phenomenal achievement and deserves great encomia.
The Present Work
Unfortunately, the ‘Abhidhana Rajendra Kosha’ remains inaccessible to those who do not know Prakrit and Sanskrit. The present work is a faithful Hindi translation of the original work with the original citations removed for reasons of brevity. The result is a compact, handy dictionary of three volumes which gives the Sanskrit meaning and Hindi explanation of each Prakrit term.
The unique features of this dictionary are:
Prakrit/Sanskrit synonyms are provided wherever possible
The Hindi explanation provides the literal meaning of the Prakrit word, a Hindi translation of its Prakrit and Sanskrit definitions, the etymological roots of the Prakrit word and an analysis of its meaning
Linguistic details such as gender, tense, verb/noun/adjective have been provided for each Prakrit term
Cross references to the original Abhidhana Rajendra Kosha have been provided in many cases
References to citations from other Jain texts are given in some cases
We recommend this fine dictionary as a must have for any student of Ancient Indian Languages.
