The Trikāņ da cintā maņi? of Ra g h unātha Ca kr a vartin and the Amar a vivek a : of Mahes va r a are two of the latest commentaries.
$5. The encyclopædic Agnipu rāņa contains a koşa which appears to be nothing but the Amarakoşa re
arranged and made more concise by omissions. The Koşain Whole the Agnipurāņa.whole verses Irom Amara and
mistakes ' find a place there. The names of the Buddha are placed, as in the Amarakoşa, before the names of the particular gods beginning with Brahman.

Bhūmivanauşadhyādivarga, V, VI, and VII, Nrbrahmakşatravițśūdrādivarga, and VIII. Sāmānyanāmalingāni.
