Puruṣottamadeva (पुरुषोत्तमदेव).—A famous grammarian believed to have been a Buddhist, who flourished in the reign of Lakșmaṇasena in the latter half of the twelfth century in Bengal. Many works on grammar are ascribed to him, the prominent ones among which are the Bhā-șāvŗtti and the Paribhāșāvŗtti, the Gaṇavŗtti and the Jñapakasamuccaya and a commentary on the Mahābhāșya called Prāṇapaṇā of which only a fragment is available. Besides these works on grammar, he has written some lexicographical works of which Hārāvalī, Trikāṇdaśeșa, Dvirūpakosa, and Ekaaksarakosa are the prominent ones. The Bhasavrtti has got a lucid commentary on it written by Srstidhara.

Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
