From 1973 editing of the Encyclopaedic Dictionary began and in 1976 the first Part of the Dictionary was published. Thirty-five volumes have been published till date consisting of 6056 pages, dictionary entries from a (अ) to abhigamyamānaparadārādi (अभगम्यमनपरदरद).
This Dictionary contains technical terms used in Sanskrit texts of ancient and medieval India dealing with law and statecraft within Dharmasastra and Arthasastra. As editors, we have attempted to make the Dictionary as comprehensive as possible, even though, given the vast extent of the literature, this is an ideal to which we can only aspire. We have, however, gathered terms used in all the most significant texts of the two traditions.
The Dictionary is arranged according to the Sanskrit alphabet, with each entry given in both Devanagari and Roman scripts. Each entry is followed by one or several definitions and by a few representative passages where the term is used. These citations are not meant to be exhaustive but only illustrative. Sometimes we have given two or more meanings indicated by numerals. These divisions are simply for heuristic purposes and are not in any way intended as clear classifications. This is the first dictionary of its kind, and we hope it will spur further research into Dharmasastra, one of the most significant areas of ancient Indian cultural expressions.
Dictionary reference list used at to the file that was loaded from: sacred-texts.com and has been extended with definitions of the Monier-Williams dictionary (indicated with an *=) and the ISKCON Vedabase (marked*V) and (partly) adapted to the transliteration used at srimadbhagavatam.org (see also ).
This Dictionary includes the vocubulary of Post-Vedic literature wuth emphasis on philosophical, grammatical and rhetorical terms. Further this is the only handy dictionary of its kind which breaks a word into its mponenet parts and refers to the roots deducible from sanskrit derivatives alone by way of comparative derivatives alone by way of comparative philosogical analysis. The work is therefore highly useful for the etymological analysis and linguistic training.
You may wish to make use of the Encyclopedia of Religion (Macmillan,1987) (R 032 En1944), which is located in the Butler ReferenceRoom. Of course,this work, edited by Mircea Eliade, does not focus on Japan, but it isfullof readable, useful articles. The advantage overJapanese-language sourceshere is that you can find information that English-speakingundergraduates will understand, and you will also spare yourself tripsto the dictionary for arcane terminology. The references at theend of each article tend to be a bit out-of-date.
Sanskrit still occupies a position of great linguistic authority inBuddhiststudies, even though the corpus of extant Buddhist Sanskrit texts isfragmentary. You are apt to find romanized Sanskrit (and Pli andTibetan) in dictionary definitions and elsewhere. If yourSanskrit is not written in romanization, and if you think it'sa mantra or dharani, take a look at the Bonji taikan.
You might also take a look at Kokugakuin's on-line dictionary (BasicTerms of Shinto), accessible through their Institute forJapanese Cultureand Classics gateway site: and through theUniversity of California JapaneseHistorical TextInitiative. These arelimited, but free and readily available. Notethat the glossary actually works as an e-index.
We also have one English dictionary available, the HistoricalDictionaryof Taoism (Scarecrow Press, 1998) (REF BL 1923 P37 1998). Like othersin the Historical Dictionary series, this work is producedentirely in English, which can be quite problematic. This isespecially the case forJapanists, since most terms are transliterated from Mandarin, and inWade-Gilesromanization at that. The dictionary is, however, a usefulintroduction toterminology and historiography that can otherwise be quite dizzying.
