Pādādhikāra (पादाधिकार) refers to one of the three sections of the Anekadhvanimañjarī (dealing with Lexicography), which 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.—The Anekadhvanimañjarī, composed in anuṣṭubhs, is ‘extant in several versions of varying length and rather poor quality’ (Vogel). Basically, there are three sections, the titles of which correspond to the length occupied by the discussion of each lemma: 1. ślokādhikāra (the discussion of each lemma occupies a full śloka); 2. ardhaślokādhikāra (discussion occupying half a śloka); 3. pādādhikāra (discussion in the form of individual words).
