Prakrit lexicons

[Andrew Ollett]

Dear all,

I was inspired by Dr. Dhaval Patel's recent efforts to make digital versions of important Sanskrit lexicons available (https://github.com/sanskrit-kosha/kosha) to do something similar for the two Prakrit lexicons that I have had on my computer for a while:

https://github.com/aso2101/prakrit_lexicons

This includes Dhanapāla’s Pāiyalacchī (in plain text form) and Hēmacandra’s Dēśīnāmamālā (in TEI form). I had planned to publish them only when I had created dictionary data from each, but others will be able to do this more expeditiously than I would be. (The TEI data for Hēmacandra should make the extraction of lemmata and definitions relatively straightforward.) Any feedback would be greatly appreciately.

Dear Mr. Andrew Ollett,

I went through the Deshinamamala metadata. It mentions that the data was initially input in Devanagari and then converted to the present form computationally.

Would it be possible for you to share the Devanagari version either via github or personal mail?

My intention is to create a startdict file from the same for easy access on mobile phones / pads or computers.

Dear Andrew,

Thanks for this. This is going to be very useful while reading texts. Do you know if anyone is working on digitising the PSM or any other large Prakrit dictionary?

I was thinking the same, a digital PSM would be a major tool.
