KALPADRUKOSA
Subhānga.
Utpala malini seems to be the name of his kosa, for a verse, quoted from that work in Jumaranandin's vṛtti on the Samkṣiptasāra, is ascribed to Subhanga by Sarvananda on Am., II. 6.6. §13. The Jaina monk Hema candra (1088-1175), called Kalikalasarvajña, who lived under the kings Jayasimha and Kumārapāla, wrote four lexical works, the Abhidhana cintamani, the Anekartha samgraha, the Nigha ntuseṣa, and the Desinama mālā. Of these the first is synonymous; the second, homonymous; the third, a botanical nighantu; and the fourth, a Prakrit lexicon.
The Abhidhana cintam a n'i' is divided into six kandas, Devadhideva, Deva, Martya, Bhumi or Tiryak, Nāraka, and Sāmānya. The first kanda is devoted to the Jaina gods and religious terms, the second to the Brahmanical and Buddhistic gods and terms connected with them, the third to the human beings in their various relations, the fourth to the lower animals, the fifth to the beings of the under world and the sixth to the abstract notions, adjectives, and indeclinables. The work begins with a description of the rudha, yaugika and misra terms, and a note on the component parts of compound words as to which of them are commutable and which not. For genders the reader is referred to the author's Lingānuśāsana. A variety of metres is used in the course of nearly 1542 verses.
