Samskrita Sabdartha Kaustubha by Dwarikaprasad Chaturvedi is perhaps the most comprehensive and largest Sanskrit-Hindi Dictionary ever to be published.
A good dictionary is an indispensable companion of a Sanskrit student (and of scholars). There are many popular Sanskrit-English dictionaries like those of Monier Williams, VS Apte, AA Mac Donell. But they could be of use only to those who know English. The great work known as Vachaspatya is a standard work and is very useful for scholars. But until a well edited edition of this work comes out, it could not be of much help to even an average Sanskrit student.
When the author of Samskrita Sabdartha Kaustubha compiled it, there were only three Sanskrit Hindi dictionaries available for the Hindi speaking students. They were all too small for much practical use, so the author compiled the present work with the hope of answering the needs of Hindi speaking Sanskrit students who are studying Sandkrit in a college or schoof or privately. Samskrita Sabdartha Kaustubha is designed to be an adequate guide to a knowledge of Sanskrit words. It contains as many explanations and details as are permitted by the limited space at the disposal of the compiler.

The Prof s. k. ramachandra rao memorial trust intends to reprint apart from Prof Rao’s books some other valuable books relating to sanskrit literature and philosophy. Two books being reprinted shortly are:

2. Meghasandesham, in kannada with copious explanatory notes, by Doddabele Gopalacharya, 1897
I want to know about “visesan visesay sayonjan”
why anuttam meaning is given sarvotkrusht . it should be like Jo uttam nahi he vo . an + uttam. jese anuttar , anudar ka meaning sandhi chhod kar dekhenge to sahi banta hai aur aape ki book me likha bhi hai . to vese hi anuttam ka meaning Karna chhahiye .
please reply ……
Virendra Vasava,
It has both meanings though it is usually used in the sense of ‘most superior’. See Sabdakalpadruma entry for anuttama at http://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de/scans/SKDScan/2013/web/webtc2/index.php

I want to understand both the meaning of a single word. I would be thankful to you if you give some examples from our Vedas with meaning ( for both type of meanings I.e. ati uttam & bad ) of shloks.
wonderful book collection
I am delighted to see that number persons interested in Sanskrit language,
& literature in Sanskrit are increasing day by day.It is heartening to note
that our Vedas,Puranas think of progress of human beings irrespective of religion,caste,creed or nationality.Let the knowledge enlighten us,the humans.
I am finding all these uploads quite uplifting in my journey towards human evolvment. Om Tat Sat
Nice
