Prakrit Proper Names (Agamic Index I) v1.c2.4

v1.c2.4

The dictionary as a whole contains about 8,000 proper names collected from the canonical texts of the Śvetambara Jainas. The names are collected not only from the original canonical texts but also from their printed Prakrit commentaries viz. Niryuktis, Bhasyas and Curnis. But as the title of the present work suggests we have not selected the proper names from the Sanskrit commentaries on those original canonical texts. Of course, they have been utilised for supplementing the informations gathered under each item from Prakrit original canonical texts and Prakrit commentaries thereon.
