Correct. Sabdarnavabhidhana. A dictionary of the Sanskrit language. The work was compiled by the late Babu Kas'inatha Basak, who died about forty years ago. He was a distinguished Sanskrit and Persian scholar, and for his time a good English writer, having been in the habit of preparing briefs for barristers of the late Supreme Court of Calcutta. He was much respected by his countrymen for his learning, wealth, and social qualities. The dictionary is remarkable as the first of its kind prepared by a native without European assistance or superintendence. It is alphabetically arranged, and is fuller in vocables than the Sabdakalpadruma of the late Sir Raja Radhakanta Deva, and gives the etymology of every word. In this last respect it is superior to both the Sabdakalpadruma and the Dictionary compiled
