Lexica :: Description

Lexica is a web interface giving access to definitions from two Sanskrit-Tibetan word lists and a Sanskrit-English dictionary.

Three lexical databases are currently available - the Mahāvyutpatti, Yogācārabhūmi and Monier-Williams Sanskrit-English Dictionary - and ten different search strategies.

Lexica is freely available to all users due to the generosity of a number of scholars.

The author would like to thank Dr Hoshu MITSUHARA and Tooru AIBA for allowing him to manipulate their electronic versions of the Mahāvyutpatti. Likewise, full credit should be given to Drs Koitsu YOKOYAMA and Takayuki HIROSAWA for the original digital version of the Yogācārabhūmi. This version of Monier-Williams Sanskrit-English Dictionary is possible due to the kindness of Dr Thomas MALTEN. The author is indebted and deeply grateful to all.

N.B.: Any DICT Client such as jDictionary can retrieve definitions directly from the IeB DICT server. For details please see `How to search the New DICT Monier-Williams Dictionary from any computer'. Please connect to: indica-et-buddhica.org:2629
