SUMMARY:An Introduction to the Magnificent Indian Thesaurus AMARAKOŚA
DESCRIPTION:INDICA’s Center for Bharatiya Languages presents a conversation with Dr Sivaja Nair on the 16th of December 2022 at IST 1800 hrs in which she will introduce the magnificent Indian thesaurus: the Amarakośa. Dr Nair earned her PhD with a thesis titled The Knowledge Structure in Amarakośa. The Amarakośa\, according to Dr Nair\, is the most celebrated and authoritative ancient thesaurus of Sanskrit and is a book that an Indian child\, one who learns from a traditional education system\, memorizes as early as the first year of formal learning. She highlights the fact that though it might appear as a linear list of words\, upon closer inspection\, it shows a rich organisation of words expressing various relations a word bears with other words\, and therefore\, when the student of the traditional system studies further\, the linear list of words unfolds into a knowledge web. Join us in this conversation to dive deeper into this recitable thesaurus\, composed by Amarasiṃha\, which truly is a landmark in the history of the Sanskrit language.
