AMARA SINHA, a celebrated Sanscrit poet and grammarian, who published a valuable Thesaurus of that language, called Amara Kosha. He is believed by some to have flourished in the fifth century of our era. It is stated by Wilson, that his work contains only the roots of Sanscrit, amounting to 10,000. The best edition of his work is that of Serampore, by H. T. Colebrooke, in 1806, reprinted in 1829. See Wilson's Sanscrit Dict., and Asiat. Res. vii.
