    sabdha mala granth

    6 months ago 110

    “Śabda Mālā Granth” (or “Shabda Mala”) usually does not refer to one single, famous Jain scripture like Uttaradhyayan or Samaysar. It is a type of book:

    • Śabda = word
    • Mālā = garland / collection
    • Granth = text / book

    So “Śabda Mālā Granth” generally means a collection of words – a kosh (dictionary / glossary) type text, where many words are listed (often in verse) with their meanings.

    In Jain literature, there are many such nama‑mālā / śabda‑mālā / kosh books written by Jain Acharyas and Pandits to explain:

    • difficult Prakrit and Sanskrit words in Agams and shastras
    • rare words used in old Jain poetry and stories
    • technical terms of Jain philosophy, vows, karma, dravya, guṇa, etc.

    Different Jain scholars have composed different “mālā”‑type granths, so:

    • “Śabda Mālā” may be the name of a particular lexicon in some local tradition, OR
    • it may be used generally for any Jain word‑collection / glossary book.

    If you know the author’s name or language (Sanskrit / Hindi / Gujarati / Prakrit), then the exact granth can be identified more precisely.
