Dear all,

I was inspired by Dr. Dhaval Patel's recent efforts to make digital versions of important Sanskrit lexicons available (https://github.com/sanskrit-kosha/kosha) to do something similar for the two Prakrit lexicons that I have had on my computer for a while:

This includes Dhanapāla’s Pāiyalacchī (in plain text form) and Hēmacandra’s Dēśīnāmamālā (in TEI form). I had planned to publish them only when I had created dictionary data from each, but others will be able to do this more expeditiously than I would be. (The TEI data for Hēmacandra should make the extraction of lemmata and definitions relatively straightforward.) Any feedback would be greatly appreciately.
