Amarakosodghatana of Ksirasvamin: A Socio-Cultural Study
Amaraksosodghatana, the title of commentary, is well justified, as the study reveals; it helps the reader in opening the treasure house of words, viz., the vocablury of Sanskrit Language. The commentary is handy and enlightens the reader wherever the text, AK, is too brief without explanations or ambigious.
K's knowledge in a vast range of literature is revealed from his citations of literary works numbering more than hundred works from the Vedas, Itihasa, Purana, Smrtis, Kavyas, Ayurveda texts, Jyotisa texts and so on.
From the study and analysis, K Still the earliest commentator with his text fully available stands as a beacon light illuminating the work of Amara. A glimpse of the Socio –Cultural status of India between 6th C. A.D. and 11th C. A.D. is brought to light by the study of the text Amarakosa and its commentary Udghatana.
