The 'Pārasīprakāśa' (or 'Pārasīprakāśavinodaḥ') by Vedāṅgarāya is a 17th-century Sanskrit-Persian lexicon and astronomical work. While it has been studied extensively in academic contexts—notably by Audrey Truschke in 'Culture of Encounters' (2016) and Madhusudan Mishra in 'Sanskrit-Persian Lexicography' (1989)—these publications provide only excerpts, technical analysis, or partial translations. No complete, standalone English translation of the entire work has been identified in scholarly catalogs or library databases.
