Rājavyavahārakośa (राजव्यवहारकोश) is a lexicon of Persian and Arabic terms with their Sanskrit equivalents. The lexicon is divided into vargas. The introductory part of other manuscripts gives an account of destruction of yavanas and hails Sivaji as an incarnation of Siva. The purpose of this lexicon, according to the author Raghunatha (17th C.A.D.), was to prevent foreign words from being detrimental to the development of Sanskrit words.
