Mandalapuruder (c. 16th century) was a Jain ascetic and lexicographer.
The greatest contribution of Mandalapruder or Vira Mandalaver is Sudamani Nigandhu. This work, which he created at the suggestion of his guru Gunapattiren, comprises 989 stanzas arranged in 12 chapters. It treats of the synonyms of the Flindu Deities, and of the objects of the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms as well as of the homonymous and generic terms. Mandalapuruder follows the style of Amarakosha in this regard. Mandalapuruder is also the author of a poem in praise of Arha, a divinity worshipped by Jains.
Mandalapuruder is a contemporary of the Vijayanagar Emperor Krishna Deva Raya.
