VAJJĀLAGGAM
III, Lexical:
(i) Deśya or provincial (i.e. regional) words have been mentioned by the author in st. 28 as one of the characteristics of Prakrit poetry. In the VL we find a number of Deśya or Desi words (including Dhätvädeśas) most of which are included in the Glossary of select words printed at the end of the present edition. Most of these Deśï words are found recorded in Dhanapala's Paiyalacchīņāmamālā, Hemacandra's Deśīnāmamālā and in the Dhätvädeśa section (HS. VIII.4.1-259) and other parts of his Prakrit Grammar. There are however some Deśya words (including Dhätvädeśas), which are used in the VL, but are not found recorded in any of the works mentioned ahove. For example:
