sabdha mala granth
“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.
