Kosha (encyclopedic lexicons)
Source: Shodhganga: Technical study of the dictionaries published in Sanskrit language since 1800 ADAbhidhānaratnamālā (अभिधानरत्नमाला) is a lexicon of 900 verses authored by Halāyudha of the 10th C.A.D. The lexicon is divided into sections called kāṇṇās. The first four kāṇṇās deal with synonyms and the fifth one with homonyms and indeclinables. Regarding the treatment of genders, the lexicon has followed Amarakosa. The genders are indicated by giving the declensional forms. The lexicon is composed in different metres. Halayudha mentions various authorities like Bhaguri, Vararuci and others.
Kosha (कोश, kośa) refers to Sanskrit lexicons intended to provide additional information regarding technical terms used in religion, philosophy and the various sciences (shastra). The oldest extant thesaurus (kosha) dates to the 4th century AD.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
