Bhūriprayoga (भूरिप्रयोग) is a lexicon of both synonyms and homonyms compiled by Padmanabhadatta who flourished in the last quarter of the 14th C.A.D. On the lines of the Amarakosa, the lexicon is divided into three sections. The sections are further subdivided into 14 vargas. This can thus be called a supplement of Amarakosa.

context information

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.

context information

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.
