In Hinduism
Kavya (poetry)
: Shodhganga: A critical appreciation of soddhalas udayasundarikathaAbhinanda (अभिनन्�).—Soḍḍhala in his work menticna Abhinanda in several places. He says that his patron was Hāravarṣa Yuvarāja. Abhinanda himself also mentions the same in his Rāmacarita. Soḍḍhala puts him along with well-known authors like Vākpatirāja, Kālisa and Bāṇa. He is referred to as the lord of the speech, Vāgīśvara.
His Rāmacarita is a charming piece of composition in the form of a Mahākāvya. Thirty six cantos of the work undoubtedly belong to Abhinanda and the last four, as the colophon of the 40th canto shows, seem to be added by Bhīmakavi. The anthologies, Kavīndravacanasamuccaya, Sadūktikarṇāmṛta, Sūktimuktāvali and Śārṅgadharapaddhati quote profusely from the works of Abhinanda.

Kavya (काव्�, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry� and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry�.
Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)
: Shodhganga: a concise history of Sanskrit Chanda literatureAbhinanda (अभिनन्�) is the name of an author of works dealing with prosodoy (chandas or Ի岹śśٰ) quoted by ṣeԻ (11th century) in his ܱṛtٲپ첹. The ܱṛtٲپ첹 is a monumental work of Sanskrit prosody in which the author discusses 27 popular metres which were used frequently by the poets (e.g., Abhinanda).

Chandas (छन्दस्) refers to Sanskrit prosody and represents one of the six Vedangas (auxiliary disciplines belonging to the study of the Vedas). The science of prosody (chandas-shastra) focusses on the study of the poetic meters such as the commonly known twenty-six metres mentioned by Pingalas.
India history and geography
: Notices of Sanskrit Manuscripts, volume 3, part 1: SaduktikarnamritaAbhinanda (अभिनन्�) is the name of a Poet mentioned in the 13th century Saduktikarṇāmrita by Śrīdhara Dāsa (son of Vaṭu Dāsa) who was a chief over several districts (called a 峾ṇḍ첹).—The Sadukti-Karnamrita is a collection of miscellaneous verses by different authors and on various subjects, five verses being devoted to each subject. There are 446 poets identified (for example, Abhinanda) some of which in the feminine gender (intended for females) while others are of Buddhist monks etc.

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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
Prakrit-English dictionary
: DDSA: Paia-sadda-mahannavo; a comprehensive Prakrit Hindi dictionaryAbhiṇaṃda (अभिणंद) in the Prakrit language is related to the Sanskrit word: Adhinand.
Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
