Vidagdhamukhamaṇḍana (विदग्धमुखमण्डन) is the name of a work by Dharmadāsa (dealing with poetry and riddles).—The Vidagdhamukhamaṇḍana (in Sanskrit) is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—This is the Sanskrit reference book on riddles of all types which are divided into categories (jāti) defined and illustrated by examples. Nothing certain is known about the author Dharmadāsa (7th century ?), who has been said to be a Buddhist, a Hindu or a Jain. [...] The margins are filled with observations in Sanskrit amounting to an unconnected commentary, without any introduction or conclusion. Several of them are however not legible because edges are torn. The commentaries are sometimes accompanied with explanatory diagrams (e.g. on 6v, 7r).

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
