INTRODUCTION.

The Amaraṭīkā­kāmadhenu is the name of a comprehensive Sanskrit commentary on the Amarakoṣa by a Buddhist sage named Subhūti Candra. I have not come across any manuscripts of this work in India or Nepal; but references to it have been made by two celebrated com­

mentators on the Amarakoṣa, viz. Rāya Mukuta (A.D. 1431) and Liṅga Bhatta.

The Amaraṭīkā­kāmadhenu (or rather a portion of it) was translated into Tibetan in the town of Yambu in Nepal by an Indian Pandit named Kīrti Candra with the assistance of a Tibetan scholar named Grags­pa-rgyal­

mtshan of Yar­luṅs perhaps in the 9th century A.i). when king RaLpa­can was reigning in Tibet. The Tibe­

tan version of only eighty­two verses of the Arnarakoṣa is now to be found in the Tangyur, Mdo‚ Śe, folios 58-78.

Of the numerous Brāhmaṇic commentaries on the Amarakoṣa, the Amarakoṣodghāṭana is perhaps the oldest if we suppose its author Kṣīra Svāmin to be identical with the sage of that name who was an instructor to king Jaya¬

pīḍa of Kāsmīra in A.D. 779-813. A list of the important Brāhmaṇic commentaries

1 on the Amarakoṣa is given below:—

1 The list is compiled principally from Dr. Aufrecht’s " Catalogus Catalogorum." My thanks are due to Mahāmahopādhyāya Pandit Hara Prasād Śāstri , M.A. , C.I.E„ for the help he has given me in collecting accounts of some commentaries not included in the Catalo­gus Catalogorum.—SATIS CHANDRA VIDYĀBHŪṢAṆA,
