(13). (JRK. P. 61). Prakrit Kosa 1. Pāiyalacchināmamālā (Prakrit) by Dhanapala (AD 972), a Jaina
laity for his sister Sundari in 279 Gäthäs in Aryā metre. It is a dictionary of synonyms, containing 998 words. This work is the only lexicon in Prakrit. Dhanapal was attracted towards Jaina religion by the preaching of his younger brother Sobhana Muni. He was a respected member of the royal court of the king Munjaraj of Dhara. The king honoured him by conferring the title of Kurcālasarasvati. Subsequently, his term with King Bhoja became precarious when the latter ordered him to revise Tilakamañjari and then after burnt it. In the beginning of his Abhidhānacintāmaņi, Hemacandra (1088- 1172 AD) mentions the lexicon of Dhanapal as an authoritative work. Dhanapal composed Tilakamañjari (Sanskrit prose), Śrāvakavidhi (Prakrit verse), Rşabhapancāśikā (Prakrit verse), Mahāvirastuti (Prakrit verse), SatyapuriyaMandana- Mahāvīrotsäha (Apabhramśa verse), Sobhanastuti-Țīkā (Sanskrit prose). Hemacandra in his Deśínāmamālā quoted the author, Sārangapaddhati refers to Nāmamālā by Dhanapal. It indicates that Dhanapal has composed a number of lexicons, not available today. Pub.
