In Hinduism
Kosha (encyclopedic lexicons)
Source: Shodhganga: Technical study of the dictionaries published in Sanskrit language since 1800 ADAnekārthasamuccaya (अनेकार्थसमुच्चय) is also popularly known as Śāśvatakośa, named after the compiler Śāśvata (6th C.A.D.). This is an incomplete lexicon. Though the words are arranged in full, half and quarter verses, they are neither in alphabetical order nor according to the number of syllables as is generally found in many lexicons. Hence the reference value of this lexicon is comparatively less. The work is divided into six sections, the last two dealing with the indeclinables. However he has been quoted by Ksirasvamin and others of the 12th 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.
