India history and geography
Source: Shodhganga: Technical study of the dictionaries published in Sanskrit language since 1800 ADAnekārthatilaka (अनेकार्थतिलक) is also called Nānārthatilaka compiled by Mahipa (before 1434 A.D.). The lexicon has four kāṇṇās, each kāṇḍa having 45,362,290 and 213 verses respectively. The division of the kāṇṇās is based on the number of syllables of words. The first kāṇḍa has words having single syllable and therefore termed ekākṣarakāṇḍa. The second is dvyakÆarakāṇḍa, the third is tryakṣarakāṇḍa. The sankirṇakāṇḍa deals with miscellaneous words having four and rarely five syllables. The arrangement of the words is generally in alphabetical order.
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.
