Illuminating the Language of the Jain Scriptures
As human speech evolved into structured language, it generated a wealth of words—layered, nuanced, and refined. Over time, this complexity made the study of grammar, etymology, and linguistics indispensable.
The Āgamic Vyutpatti Kośa is a landmark attempt to map the etymological roots of over 3,000 Prakrit and Sanskrit terms derived from Jain sacred texts. Compiled with rare dedication by the young and dynamic scholar Muni Dhyanakīrtivijaya, this work represents a remarkable feat of scholarship achieved within a short span of time.
Spanning a vast body of source material, the dictionary offers precise citations and careful etymological explanations, making it an invaluable aid for scholars, translators, students, orators, and anyone seeking to explore the scriptures with greater accuracy. Lovers of Prakrit and Sanskrit will find in it a treasure that deepens their appreciation of India’s linguistic and spiritual heritage.
