Aufrecht has reported the availability of a single manuscript of this lexicon at the Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal (Catalogus Catalogorum, i, 656.6). The lexicon has four parts. The first part deals with the names of different parts of human body and things related to women, the second part deals with inanimate objects, the third part with the enumeration of celestial objects and the fourth one with words having several meanings, synonyms, prepositions, names of arts and sciences, etc.

Śīghrabodhinīnāmamālā (शीघ्रबोधिनीनाममाला) is the name of a work ascribed to Puṇḍarīkaviṭṭhala (16th century): a well known scholar in music as well as in Dharmaśāstra, Alaṅkāraśāstra and chandas whose erudite scholarship has touched the height of excellence, which can be judged only from his compositions (e.g., Śīghrabodhinī-nāmamālā).

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
