The Jesuit missionary Heinrich Roth, or, in Portuguese, Enrique Roa, began to compile word lists. See, e.g., the article of Claus Vogel: "Die Vorarbeiten des Jesuitenmissionars Heinrich Roth (1620-1668) zu einem Sanskrit-lateinischen Wörterbuch“, in: Vicitrakusumañjali. Festschrift für Richard Othon Meisezahl anläßlich seines achtzigsten Geburtstages, Bonn 1986, pp. 131–146.

Johann Ernst Hanxleden (or von Hanxleden, also known as Arnos Pathiri in different spellings) successfully compiled dictionaries.  See the introduction to the facsimile edition of Hanxleden’s Grammatica Grandonica (published as Grammatica Grandonica. The Sanskrit Grammar of Johann Ernst Hanxleden S.J. (1681-1732) / introduced and ed. by Toon van Hal & Christophe Vielle, Potsdam 2013, also available as open access PDF file). The bibliography is full of good references.

Hope it helps
