कोशदर्शनम् - संस्कृतकोशान् उपयोक्तुं मार्गदर्शनम्
Koshadarshanam - Learn to get the best out of Sanskrit dictionaries
Sanskrit koshas do much more than giving simple word-to-word translations or synonyms. They incorporate a wealth of information about the word, including the gender, grammatical information, various forms, usages from literature, special references, etc. In this course, Dr. Chandrasekharan Raman explains the features of 4 major koshas (Two Sanskrit-English dictionaries, and Two Sanskrit-Sanskrit koshas), and teaches the learners to use online searchable repositories to get all the information and understand it.

Know More about the Course
Dictionaries are indispensable companions to language learning, and are used by all learners, whether at the beginning or advanced level. Modern dictionaries which simply list words in their alphabetical order and give their meanings, do not require much guidance to use.
However, Sanskrit koshas do much more than giving simple word-to-word translations or synonyms. They incorporate a wealth of information about the word, including the gender, grammatical information, various forms, usages from literature, special references, etc. Many students get lost in these koshas, as they are not aware of the structure of the kosha, or what the different things mean. Consequently, they are unable to use these to assist their language learning.
In this course, Dr. Chandrasekharan Raman explains the features of 4 major koshas (Two Sanskrit-English dictionaries, and Two Sanskrit-Sanskrit koshas), and teaches the learners to use online searchable repositories to get all the information and understand it.

The course was an eye opener for me. The online availability of koshas makes learning and teaching samskritam easy. Chandrasekara mahodaya’s approach to the course made it easy to comprehend and increased my love for the language. Looking forward to learning Amarakosha from Vyoma.

Dr. Raman did an excellent job in teaching this course. Looking into a dictionary is an art. I was exposed to some nuances involved in dictionary look up through his lectures for which I am very grateful to him.
