The Amarakośa in Tibetan: the thesaurus of synonyms and epithets that gave the poets their many names for one thing.

This page is a placeholder. It exists so that the structure does; the text will follow, and will be checked by a teacher of the field before it is called finished.

The Amarakośa is a thesaurus in verse, arranged by subject, heaven, earth, the town, the body, and giving for each thing its names. Translated into Tibetan in the early fourteenth century, it became the standard reference for anyone writing in the ornate style, and its epithets are everywhere in classical literature.

The pages here will present its structure and the most-used of its names.
