In Hinduism
Kavya (poetry)
Source: Shodhganga: A critical appreciation of soddhalas udayasundarikathaAbhinanda (अभिनन्द).—Soḍḍhala in his work menticna Abhinanda in several places. He says that his patron was Hāravarṣa Yuvarāja. Abhinanda himself also mentions the same in his Rāmacarita. Soḍḍhala puts him along with well-known authors like Vākpatirāja, Kālidāsa and Bāṇa. He is referred to as the lord of the speech, Vāgīśvara.
His Rāmacarita is a charming piece of composition in the form of a Mahākāvya. Thirty six cantos of the work undoubtedly belong to Abhinanda and the last four, as the colophon of the 40th canto shows, seem to be added by Bhīmakavi. The anthologies, Kavīndravacanasamuccaya, Sadūktikarṇāmṛta, Sūktimuktāvali and Śārṅgadharapaddhati quote profusely from the works of Abhinanda.
Kavya (काव्य, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry’ and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry’.
Chandas (prosody, study of Sanskrit metres)
Source: Shodhganga: a concise history of Sanskrit Chanda literatureAbhinanda (अभिनन्द) is the name of an author of works dealing with prosodoy (chandas or chandaśśāstra) quoted by Kṣemendra (11th century) in his Suvṛttatilaka. The Suvṛttatilaka is a monumental work of Sanskrit prosody in which the author discusses 27 popular metres which were used frequently by the poets (e.g., Abhinanda).
Chandas (छन्दस्) refers to Sanskrit prosody and represents one of the six Vedangas (auxiliary disciplines belonging to the study of the Vedas). The science of prosody (chandas-shastra) focusses on the study of the poetic meters such as the commonly known twenty-six metres mentioned by Pingalas.

[It might be possible to look in these instances upon the word as upon a plural of a masc. abhinanda; but in the quoted passage from Suśruta it is more natural to take it as the singul. of a femin., as has been done by a modern Paṇdit who explains: abhinandā icchā . yathā . annābhinandā.] E. nand with abhi, kṛt aff. ac; in the fem. perhaps, kṛt aff. a (comp.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
Prakrit-English dictionary
Source: DDSA: Paia-sadda-mahannavo; a comprehensive Prakrit Hindi dictionaryAbhiṇaṃda (अभिणंद) in the Prakrit language is related to the Sanskrit word: Adhinand.
Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
