Lexicography or 碍辞峁�a writings naturally precede the regular analysis of language as it largely helps in understanding the meaning of a word. It sometimes gives the metaphorical sense sanctioned by the usage, but the primarily significative power is not to be assumed in such cases.

The domain of 碍辞峁�a literature is also of varied types. Many well known 碍辞峁�as as 础尘补谤补办辞艣补, 础产丑颈诲丑腻苍补谤补迟苍补尘腻濒腻 and 痴补颈箩补测补苍迟墨办辞峁�a deal with synonyms and homonyms of profession, occupation, cosmology, flora, fauna, human body and so on. 碍辞峁�as like Dhanvantari 狈颈驳丑补峁囜弓耻, 艢ivako峁�a and 础峁ａ弓腻峁単补 狈颈驳丑补峁囜弓耻, have for their domain synonyms of plants and herbs, vegetables and mineral substances and their medicinal properties. Approved recipes, diseases, diet, hygiene etc. are treated in 贬峁沝补测补诲墨辫颈办腻, 艢补迟补艣濒辞办墨, 碍补濒辫补诲谤耻办辞峁�a, etc. 搁腻箩补惫测补惫补丑腻谤补办辞峁�a deals with technical terms of administration and related topics. 顿惫颈谤奴辫补办辞峁�a of 艢谤墨丑补谤峁�a deals with two forms of words slightly different from each other. 顿别艣墨苍腻尘补尘腻濒腻 of Hemacandra and the like give the Pr膩k峁泃 words with Sanskrit equivalents. 础苍别办腻谤迟丑补办辞峁�a of 艢腻艣惫补迟补, 贰办腻办峁�a谤补办辞峁�a, 痴颈艣惫补辫谤补办腻艣补 and others deal exclusively with homonyms.

Sanskrit lexicons are composed in verses to serve the purpose of memorising. Majority of lexicons deal with either synonyms or homonyms while some deal with both. The words are arranged subject-wise, with further sub-divisions based on grouping of words of one, two, three and more syllables or by the first or the final syllable.

The commentaries help in understanding the meaning of words either by giving their synonyms or by describing their meanings. 笔补迟补帽箩补濒颈 in his 笔补艣辫补艣腻岣�n颈办补 highlights the role played by the commentator in deciding the meaning of a word, solely based on the commentary.

The lexicographical literature and commentaries on them form a large portion of Sanskrit literature. They have acquired a position of great significance in the history of Sanskrit literature. Still, not much study has been done on this section of literature. Though there are many articles by great scholars on the nature of lexicons, their specialities, their unique contribution to the development of Sanskrit and so on, only a few studies are available on lexicons as a separate genre of literature, like鈥�Indian Lexicography by Vogel Claus (pub. by Otto Harrassowitz, Wiesbaden, 1979); History of Sanskrit Lexicography by Patkar, Madhukar. M (Munshiram Manoharlal publishers, New Delhi,1981); 厂补峁僺办峁泃补 ko峁�a v膩峁卪aye s膩m膩nyaparicaya岣� by Keshava Sharma, (Sa峁僺krt Shodh Sa峁僺than, Shimla, H.P, 1976). A thesis titled 础产丑颈诲丑腻苍补谤补迟苍补尘腻濒腻鈥�A cultural study was presented to the Pondicherry University, in Sept. 2000 by Dr. L. Sampath Kumar.

础尘补谤补办辞艣补 of Amarasi峁僪a is the earliest lexicon available belonging to the 6th century A.D. followed by the other lexicons mentioned above. 础尘补谤补办辞艣补 is called 狈腻尘补濒颈峁単腻苍耻艣腻蝉补苍补峁� by the author himself because, along with the synonyms, the genders are also denoted by certain techniques mentioned at the beginning of the work. The 础尘补谤补办辞艣补 itself was a compilation of earlier lexicons as stated by the author. He further declares that the words arranged wrongly in the earlier lexicons were rearranged by him according to certain principles; also the multitudinous classes unnecessarily sectioned in the earlier lexicons were shortened by him.

The popularity of 础尘补谤补办辞艣补 is evident from the fact that it has more than eighty commentaries, of which only about fifteen are published and the rest are found in manuscripts. But there has not been much study done on 础尘补谤补办辞艣补 or its commentaries despite the fact that the editions of 础尘补谤补办辞艣补 by Borooah (with com. of Xirasv膩min and 惭耻办耻峁璦, Berhampore, London, 1887), 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 G. Oka (with 础尘补谤补办辞艣辞诲驳丑腻峁璦苍补, Bharat Bharati Bhandar, Delhi, 1993), Dr. Hardutt Sharma and Dr. N. G. Sardesai (with 础尘补谤补办辞艣辞诲驳丑腻峁璦苍补, Oriental Book Agency, Poona 1941) and A. A. Ramanathan (with unpublished south Indian Commentaries 础尘补谤补辫补诲补惫颈惫峁泃颈 of Li峁単ayyas奴rin and 础尘补谤补辫腻谤颈箩腻迟补 of 惭补濒濒颈苍腻迟丑补, The Adyar library and Research Centre, Madras, 1971) carry introductions of great academic value. The 础尘补谤补办辞艣补sya v膩t膩yan膩t, by Dr. Rama Dubalish (Vidhyanidhi Prakashan, Delhi, 2003) and N膩mali峁単膩nu艣膩sane p膩峁噄n墨yaprabh膩va岣� by Prof. Janamaddi Ramakrishna (Rashtriya 厂补峁僺办谤颈迟 Vidya Peeth, Tirupati, 2005) are major studies done on 础尘补谤补办辞艣补.

While studies on 础尘补谤补办辞艣补 itself are quite few, only much less can be stated about its commentaries. Except the study on the commentary of 闯腻迟补谤奴辫补 by Dr. Mahesh Raj Pant (MLBD, Delhi, 2000), no other study on commentaries on 础尘补谤补办辞艣补 has been done in detail. It is to be noted that the 闯腻迟补谤奴辫补's commentary is available only in fragments. Hence 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍's commentary viz. 础尘补谤补办辞艣辞诲驳丑腻峁璦苍补 is taken up here for study. Accordingly, the thesis is divided into seven chapters鈥揂 brief survey of 碍辞峁�a literature; Author鈥檚 life, date and works; Social Aspects; Cultural Aspects; Aspects of Nature; Grammatical Aspects and Evaluation.
