Padmanabha Pillai was born in Sreekanteswaram in Thiruvananthapuram(Trivandrum). He studied English, Tamil and Sanskrit and wrote ''Duryodhanavadham'' and ''Dharmaguptavadham'' at a young age. He later worked as a lawyer. He started his work on ''Sabdatharavali'' at the age of 32. The first part of the book came out in 1918. The dictionary, which runs into more than 1600 pages, took twenty years to complete. His son P. Damodara Pillai later compiled a concise version. Padmanabha Pillai also prepared a pocket dictionary in 1906. Padmanabha Pillai wrote around sixty books in his lifetime. He ran the magazine ''Bhashavilasam'' for a time and left two dictionaries - ''Sahityabharanam'' and an English-Malayalam dictionary - incomplete at the time of his death. ==See also== *Kanippayyur Shankaran Namboodiripad 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sreekanteswaram Padmanabha Pillai」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
