Dear Colleagues, Can anyone point me to the original publication dates of Rādhākāntadeva Bāhādura's *Śabdakalpadrumaḥ* and Tārānātha Tarkavācaspati's *Vācaspatyam*. >From what I can find Rādhākānta lived 1784-1867 (Śrī Wikipedia uvāca <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radhakanta_Deb>), while Tārānātha lived 1812-1885 (Śrī Brian Hatcher uvāca <https://www.jstor.org/stable/3876590>). The wonderful Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries website lists the dates of publication as 1886 for the *Śabdakalpadruma* and 1873 for the *Vācaspatyam.* But this seems to flip the sequence. And I found an article <https://www.jstor.org/stable/25207458> R. Lenz from 1835 glorifying the first three volumes of the Śabdakalpadruma.
Any help is appreciated, as is any broader scholarship on these two momentous scholars. Thanks, Dave -- David Buchta, PhD Senior Lecturer in Sanskrit Department of Classics Brown University
