Saradasundari. A commentary on the Amarakosha. By Mathuresa Vidyalankara, son of Sivarama Chakravarti. Wilson describes the work as a "useful one," and, adverting to the author's Sabdaratnavali, adds, "it is chiefly useful for its introduction of various readings amongst the synonyms; but he has made very little addition of any other kind. This work was composed, according to the date, in Saka 1588, or A. D. 1666, and under the patronage of a Musalman chief whose name, as written in the manuscript, appears to be Murchan Khan. It should be more probably Musa Khan, a name common amongst the Musalman chiefs of the seventeenth century." Essays, III, 233.
