In lexicography, the *Vaijayantī* of Yādavaprakāśa, the teacher of Rāmānuja, has commanded great authority in the eyes of later authors; it is a work in two sections—one on synonyms and the other on homonyms. Dhanañjaya, a Digambara Jaina writer (1150) of Karnātaka, compiled the *Nāmamālā*, a lexicon of synonyms in about two hundred verses. Jātaveda Dikshita (1250), also from Karnātaka, annotated the *Amarakośa* in his *Brihadvritti*. Lastly, Vāmana Bhaṭṭa Bāna, whose writings in prose and drama have been noted already, produced two lexicons of merit—*Sabdaratnākara* and *Sabdacandrikā*.
