This dictionary is quite simply the best reference for technical terms in the Nyaya-Vaisesika tradition I know. It also clarifies usage in Samkhya and the Grammatical tradition. Lists them by text, and gives citations which exemplify the use to which they are put. Seriously: don't read another philosophical text without it. This one makes the pathetic attempts by the Moderns quite inexcusable. Someone ought to (a) translate this from Sanskrit (b) extend it by adding in Jaina, BauddhAdi terms.
