The lexicon gives a description of rudha, yauqika andmisra terms at the outset and a note on the component parts of compound words also the commutable components of such words. The homonyms part is arranged according to the number of syllables in each word, and also according to the final syllables.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.

(-ṇiḥ) ‘The gem that yields every word desired’; the name of the first part of Hemachandra's vocabulary or of the portion containing the synonymes; the work is commented upon by Hemachandra himself and by Vallabhagaṇi. (The latter portion of Hemachandra’s vocabulary bears the title Anekārthasaṅgraha or Nānārthasaṅgraha and is similar to, but not identical with, Maheśvara's Viśvaprakāśa; there must have existed or may still exist an extensive commentary on it, probably by Hemachandra himself, as may be concluded from a single Ms. leaf which is happily preserved of it in the British Museum.) E. abhidhāna and cintāmaṇi.
[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
