India history and geography
Source: Shodhganga: Technical study of the dictionaries published in Sanskrit language since 1800 ADAbhidhānatantra (अभिधानतन्त्र) is a lexicon of synonyms and homonyms authored by Jatadhara who lived before the 15th C.A.D. He has made certain additions to Amarakosa. This lexicon is largely based on the Amarakosa and has been divided into 18 vargas. All these vargas are put into three kandas as in the Amarakosa. The lexicon appears to have not mentioned any authority. Abhidhanaratna and Linqanusasana are two other names given to this lexicon.
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.
