FOREWORD. The Sabdaratnasamanvaya a Sanskrit lexicon of a

very high order, is now presented to the public as No. L I X of the Gaekwad's Oriental Series. This, unlike the famous Amarakosa, belongs to the Nanartha class of lexicons where words are arranged in a strict alphabetical order according to finals. These are further arranged according to the number of syllables contained in them in their ascending order, all the meanings being given against each. The following may be cited as good exam­ples of lexicons belonging to the Nanartha class :—

1. Medinikosa of Medinikara. 2. Visralocanakosa of Sridharasena. 3. Anekarthasaingraha of Hemacandra. No apology is needed for bringing out a crit ical

edition of an important lexicon as this, chiefly because of its peculiarity of arrangement and wealth of synonyms. The literature on Sanskrit lexicography, moreover, is so vast and the published works are so few that it is con­sidered very desirable that attention of scholars should be directed to this branch of technical literature, and important works published without any very great delay. A few years back in this very Series we had offered an important lexicon,namely the Kesarakalpadru, and wi th in a few years we have again the pleasure of presenting another remarkable lexicon which may safely pass as a standard work. Another reason why this work has been taken up is, that its Royal author Sahajl of Tanjore whose erudition and scholarly acumen were not a wh i t less than those of the greatest Brahmin Pandits of his age, belonged to the Maratha race. He is described in the works composed during his reign as a linguist and a con­queror and as great in all respects. A l l the Maratha princes of Tanjore were great patrons of learning and

vi FOREWORD

were famous for their erudition, refinement and culture. Shivaji the Great had a special leaning for lexicons and for the employment of suitable administrative terms in vernacular, and he caused to be prepared by one of tho most learned Pandits of his court a dictionary entitled the Rajavyavaharakosa in which Sanskrit equivalents for al l administrative terms in Persian were given. The Sabdaratnasamanvaya w i l l , therefore, beat al l other lexicons in importance, not only because it is a standard work but also because of its Royal authorship and its Maratha connection, showing that the early Marat ha rulers were as enlightened as any of the modern Maratha princes and they had always carried w i t h them the legacy of a great culture.

This work has been edited by Pandit Vi t tha la Sastri of the Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya of Baroda who has already made a name by his erudition in Sanskrit Gram­mar and Lexicography. This learned Pandit has added a scholarly introduction which is extremely valuable and can be read by al l w i th pleasure and profit.

The present edition is based on three MSS. belonging to the Oriental Inst i tute, Baroda and the Tanjore Palace Library , as under :—

1. A paper manuscript belonging to the Library of the Oriental Ins t i tu te at Baroda. The text is almost wholly based on this manuscript, No. 9180 which is dated Samvat 1846 and is complete. This is styled as

FOREWORD vi i

The colophon in No. 3 supplies the author's name and identity 1 as follows :—

The author of the present work, as has been pointed out already, is the great Marat ha king Sahaji of Tanjore who ruled over the Tanjore kingdom from A . D . 1684-1712. This is not the place to recapitulate the history of the Tanjore kingdom and that of the Maratha kings and the manifold vicissitudes and reverses of fortune through which all the rulers had to pass before Tanjore was taken over by the British under Lord Dalhousie's irresistible policy of lapse.

The history of Tanjore, the garden of the South, is fascinating, and no one can peruse it without a mixed sense of pathos and glory. The kings were all good and cultured and they were always engaged in acts beneficial to their subjects. They were noted for their able admi­nistration, character, charity and patronage to literature and fine arts. In fact, they made Tanjore the home of line arts and culture from which they penetrated in all directions throughout the confines of Southern India, and yet they could not survive the surging waves of British domination.

The History of the Maratha Rdjas of Tanjore, has been told very eloquently by Mr. K. S. Subramanian, Lecturer in History, Maharaja's College, Vizianagram, and therefore those who are interested in a detailed

1 Regarding the authorship not tho least doubt need bo entertained. Both Burnell and P. P. S. Shastri definitely at tr ibute this work to King Sahaji. Moreover, tho second introductory stanza, p . I , lino 7 makes a faint reference to Sahaji w i t h the words where Sahaje really stands for K i n g Sahaji.

See Burnell's Catalogue of MSS. in the Tanjore Palace Library, p. 52 b, and P. P. S. Shastri's new catalogue, Vol . I X , pp. 3904-3906. Moreover, in all the colophons of the present work it is called the Rajakofa, which also points to its royal authorship.

viii FOREWORD

account of the Maratha Rajas should refer to this mas­ter ly production. A brief summary of the history of Tanjore particularly w i t h reference to the reign of Sahajl is what is required here by way of introduction.

Tanjore, briefly speaking, was included in a princi­pal i ty under the Vijayanagara Dynasty and was admi­nistered by governors appointed by the Vijayanagara kings. The Cholas were the first governors, one of whom, V i r a Narasirhha, rebelled against the emperor. When the rebellion was brought under control the principali ty was broken up and the Tanjore country was handed over to one Sevappa, the first Nayaka ruler of Tanjore who had married the sister-in-law of the late emperor (A.D. 1544).

W i t h the fall of the Vijayanagara kingdom (1646 A.D.) the Sultan of Bijapur became the overlord of the whole te r r i tory to the south of the Coramandel and levied t r ibute . Vijayaraghava the last Nayaka k ing was kil led by his enemy the Nayaka Raja of Madura (1673 A.D.) on his refusal to marry a Tanjore princess to h im.

Chokka the victorious Nayaka king of Madura appointed his foster brother Alagir i as the Governor of Tanjore, but Alagi r i w i t h his characteristic ingratitude asserted his independence soon after.

In the meantime the young son of Vijayaraghava the last of the Nayaka kings of Tanjore sought the help of the Sultan of Bijapur in regaining his throne after the removal of the impostor Alagir i .

Sultan A d i l Shah of Bijapur ordered Venkaji , son of Sahajl Bhonsle and lord of the Bangalore Jahgir to render necessary help for the restoration of Cheftgama-ladasa after the expulsion of Alagir i the impostor. Venkajl won a crushing victory after which he took the capital and made Chengamaladasa the king of Tanjore. Eko j l could, however, easily have anointed himself k ing of

FOREWORD I X

Tanjore, bu t he purposely avoided i t , as he disliked the idea of alienating himself from the Sultan. B u t on the death of the Sultan he threw his conscience to the winds and occupied Tanjore wi thout even firing a shot, when the weak Nayaka king Chengamaladasa fled for his life.

Venkaji or Ekoj i was the son of Sahaji Bhonsle a mi l i t a ry officer of high rank in the Bijapur kingdom who had married two wives. While (Sivaji the great was his son through the first wife, Ekoj i or Venkaji , our author's father, was his son through the second.

Venkaji was the first Maratha king to rule over Tanjore in the place of the Nayaka Rajas, the faithful dejxmdents of the Vijayanagara emperors, who ruled over the country for over a century and a quarter. He was already the master of the Bangalore Jahgir, to which he had succeeded immediately after his father's death in 1664 A . D . The most important event during his reign was Sivaji's invasion of the terr i tory in 1676-77 A . D . claiming his portion of the Bangalore Jahgir the property of their father. Family quarrels of the bitterest k ind ensued and the result was that a treaty was concluded by which Ekoj i bound himself to pay a t r ibute to Sivaji and acknowledged him as his suzerain instead of the Bijapur kings, in A . D . 1680. After a distinguished rule of seven years Ekoj i died in 1683 and the kingdom passed on to his eldest son Sahaji.

When Sahaji ascended the throne, he was barely in his twelfth year. Bu t he was extremely clever and bri l l iant . Moreover, he obtained for his help the trained and loyal ministers of his father and, therefore, his ad­ministrat ion was a great success.

Sahaji was much attached to his brothers and even to his cousin Rajarama, the son of Sivaji. While Sahaji l ived in the capital he made his two younger brothers governors of the two principalities under h im. Sahaji maintained good relations even w i t h the Sultan of Bijapur,

X FOREWORD

probably w i t h a view to check the growing menace of the Moghul advance on Southern India. On the death of Sivaji the fortune of the Maratha power was on the wane, and the centre of the Maratha opposition to the Moghuls was shifted to Gingee. Rajarama and Tarabai his worthy queen offered stout resistance to the incursions of the Moghuls, and Sahaji's father conti­nuously helped him in distress though he knew ful l well that it was a hopeless job. Sahaji also followed in the footsteps of his father and helped Rajarama t i l l Gingee finally fell in 1698 A . D .

Since 1691, even before Gingee fell, Tanjore was held from the Moghul by Zulfikar A l i Khan the Moghul General who began levying a tribute estimated at four lakhs of rupees from king Sahaji of Tanjore. Daud Khan his successor visited Tanjore periodically for his dues and thus the Maratha kings of Tanjore shifted their allegiance from Bijapur to Sivaji and from Sivaji to the Moghul.

But for this change in suzerainty Tanjore had nothing to lose. There was peace and plenty in the kingdom, and subjects were all contented and happy. The king had enough money and ample leisure to devote to public charity, as is evident from the various acts of public benefit done by him during his life-time.

Sahaji repaired the fort of Tanjore, erected free hospitals and choultries for the poor. He brought expert-physicians from Arabia to look after the hospitals. Civi l and criminal courts were established, and an efficient mil i tary force was maintained by him.

Himself a scholar of high eminence he was besides a great lover and a patron of learning and fine arts. He granted an entire village by name Sahajipuram to a band of learned Pandits for their maintenance in 1693. His own erudition and the patronage he bestowed on his.

court Pandits w i l l be evident from the stupendous list of works composed by himself and his Pandits mentioned below. This is only a cursory list and it is quite prob­able that many other works wri t ten either by K i n g Sahaji or by his associates must have been lost.

The following works are a t t r ibuted to Sahaji and manuscript copies are to be found in the Tanjore Palace Library besides the present work Sabdaratna-samaneaya.

1. Sabddrthasangraha. Nos. 5063 and 5004 des­cribed in the Descriptire Catalogue of the Tanjore Library, Vo l . I X .

Sahaji maintained an astonishing number of 46 Pandits in his court and they were very liberally patro­nized by him. The Pandits well versed in different branches of Sanskrit learning and vernaculars are said to have wri t ten either at the instance of the King or during his reign quite a large number of works. The following among others are known and many among them are s t i l l preserved in the various public libraries in manuscript form.

xiv FOREWORD

It is stated in the Advaitakirtana, a Tamil work preserved in the Tanjore Library, that Sahaji led the life of a Yogi in the last part of his life, and that he was highly devoted to the Sannyasins of the Advaita school. His sister was also a Yogini according to Bhosalavamsa-vali. This is a common feature found in the Maratha rulers, a sort of non-attachment to worldly things being prominent in them, as in this instance from Sivaji to Ekoji and Ekojl to Sahaji

Another thing worthy of mention is that even in ancient times the kings used to extend liberal patronage to Pandits who prepared lexicons for them, and probably this technical branch of Sanskrit literature would not have made any progress without the help and the patro­nage of Royal personages. A list of such Kosas prepared from the earliest times, either at the instance of kings or during their reign, therefore, is likely to prove very interesting.
