Nandadāsa (नन्ददास) is the author of the Mānamañjarī and Anekārtha (both dealing with Lexicography), wihch is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—Nandadās is a famous 16th century Braj Bhāṣā poet who belonged to the ‘eight accredited’ poets (aṣṭa chāp) of the Vallabha sect. In addition to poems, narrative poems adapted from the Bhāgavata Purāṇa, as a true poet, he showed interest in poetics and in disciplines relating to the handling of language especially in the various mañjarīs he wrote. Two of them are lexicographical works. The Anekārthamañjarī focuses on polysemic words, thus homonymy. The Mānamañjarī is a synonymic lexicon in the tradition of the Sanskrit Amarakośa, as stated by the author himself at the outset.

context information

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.
