नमो नमः

Is there a composite word बिरुदालङ्क्रित OR बृद्वालङ्क्रित in frequent
use? ( बिरुदं + अलङ्क्रित OR बिरुदु + अलङ्क्रित ?)

I happen to see this word to mean a person being 'adorned with
title' ....

In Tamil there is a word called 'virudu' to mean 'title'.

Apte's sanskrit dictionary gives the following on  विरुदं and not  बिरुदं

गद्यपद्यमयो राजस्तुतिर्विरुदमुच्यते /
also
पठन्ति विरुदावलीं अहिनमंदिरे वन्दिन: /   Rasagangadhara.

Viruda in Sanskrit means a panegyric. As in virudaavalii which means a long panegyric.

Virudaala"nk.rta then means adorned with the panegyric.

Dear Mukund, 

You are mixing two words used two languages.

As Mm. Vimalaji quoted, Monier Williams had noted more than two variants for the same word. There is no etymology for this word available. Possibly may be some loan words either other Indo-European languages or Dravidian Languages. See the entry in T Burrow and Emeneu Etymological Dictionary:


Like many other loan words, it takes different pronunciations and forms in Sanskrit in addition to native phonetic and grammatical habits:

विरुद, + अलंकृत would be fine than the other विरुदु > बिरुदु - विरुद etc.  native expressions.   
 
5414 Ta. virutu title, banner, trophy, badge of victory, pedigree, genealogy.Ma. virutu valour, prize gained by conquest, trophy, blazon, family device; virutan an accomplished warrior. Ka. biridu, biruda, birudu panegyric, praise, an honorary distinctive mark, badge of honour, distinction, developed power, valour; birida man of distinction, etc. Tu. birdů, birdoligè badge of honour, show, display, prestige. Te. birudamu, birudu title or mark of.

Hope this would answer your query.

One more thing.

अलंक्रित is native expression to Dravidian Languages, deviating from Sanskrit word अलंकृत properly derivable in its native environment. The transfer of meaning is always acceptable as well as the aallomorphic deviations. विरुद, बिरुद, बिरद etc. also acceptable forms.

There is a telugu word - birudu' that means a title.

Thanks

Word "birudu" which exists in Kannada, Telugu, perhaps Tamil and Malayalam too might have been imported into Sanskrit. It does not look like an original Sanskrit word. Just a hunch.

Apte's dictionary gives the following against virudam 

विरुदम् 

गद्यपद्यमयी राजस्तुतिर्विरुदमुच्यते /

पठंति विरुदावळीमहिनमंदिरे बंदिनः /

There is a general rule - vabayorabhedah.

This is the second message by you containing the same quotation from Apte. The first is here on:

And the second addition is a common fact.  The point is whether this word has got any etymology in Sanskrit or a loan word from other language? Repeating the same message doesn't help in any way to solve the query.
