Pitambari Devi
Praharaj has credited Pitambari as his most important co-worker in the compilation of Bhashakosha. But she has also been mired in the family tussles of Praharaj as well as in his unnatural death. Pitambari's life became very difficult after Praharaj's death and she died a homeless destitute in the end.
