India history and geography
Śabdārṇava (शब्दार्णव) is a lexicon divided into sections called adhikaras. The work gives genders for all the terms dealt with. The nouns are divided into seven categories, viz., masculine, non-masculine, feminine, non-feminine, neuter, non-neuter, and nouns having three genders. Again the nouns are further classified into three categories, viz., rudha, yaugika and misra. Sastradhikara is one of the classifications dealing with weapons, giving the names of different arms and weapons used in those days. The lexicon is authored by Sahajakirti of the 17th C.A.D.
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.
Śabdārṇava (शब्दार्णव) or Śabdārṇavavācaspati is the name of a Poet mentioned in the 13th century Saduktikarṇāmrita by Śrīdhara Dāsa (son of Vaṭu Dāsa) who was a chief over several districts (called a mahāmaṇḍalika).—The Sadukti-Karnamrita is a collection of miscellaneous verses by different authors and on various subjects, five verses being devoted to each subject. There are 446 poets identified (for example, Śabdārṇava-vācaspati) some of which in the feminine gender (intended for females) while others are of Buddhist monks etc.

Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
