Abhidhānappadīpikāṭīkā
The Ṭīkā on the Lamp of Nouns
GRAMMATICAL TRADITION · volume 10 of 13
The subcommentary on the Pali dictionary, closing Abhidhānappadīpikāṭīkā niṭṭhitā. About 1350 CE, by Norman's dating; a separate saṃvaṇṇanā on the same dictionary was written in Burma in the same century, in the reign of Kittisīhasūra.
Its usefulness follows from the peculiarity of the book it explains. Because part of the Abhidhānappadīpikā's vocabulary was manufactured out of Sanskrit rather than gathered from Pali usage, a commentary is what stands between the reader and a list of words that no Pali text uses. The volume is anonymous.
