Kosha (encyclopedic lexicons)
Source: Shodhganga: Technical study of the dictionaries published in Sanskrit language since 1800 ADKalpadrukośa (कल्पद्रुकोश) is one of the major lexicons in Sanskrit containing about4000 verses divided into three main divisions called skandhās. The skandhās are further divided into twenty seven sub-divisions. The skandhas are: bhumiskandha, bhuvahskandha and svargaskandha. The bhumiskandha has seventeen sub-divisions called prakandas. The bhuvahskandha has five prakandas. The svargaskandha has four divisions. Though the exhaustive divisions provide ample synonyms, the arrangement does not seem to be systematic as it requires little effort to find a particular word from among the large stock of synonyms. An index of words arranged alphabetically would ensure quick reference to required word. The genders are indicated by abbreviations. The synonyms for compound words are not given in original forms. The work is authored by Keśava who lived in the 17th C.A.D. According to him the work is based on the works of his predecessors like Kātya, Vācaspati, Vyādi, Bhaguri, Amara 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.
