Dear Allen,

     At least in the Marathi speaking area, words like granthālaya and granthapāla have by now been defined as replacements for English "library" and "librarian".  My father used to teach a course in Granthapālanaśāstra referring to Library Science in Pune.  Similarly, the word Prakāśana and Prakāśaka have come to refer to Publishing and Publisher, while Sampādana and Sampādaka have come to refer to editing and editor.  It is possible to see some fluctuation in the usage of these terms in the 18th and 19th centuries, but over time, these words have become fixed in Marathi usage with definite meanings.

I would add the pustakalaya 'library' can mean 'publishing house'.

Can't sampadita mean 'assembled' or 'collected' in addition to completed?

Also:

Bhasabhasya and bhasatika.  Vernacular commentary. My impression is that the first often means not quite a commentary but a somewhat expanded translation into a modern language, while the second may mean more what we usually mean by 'commentary'.  What do others think?

Yantralaya printing house
Silayantra lithographic press
