Pavananandan,

A name for the chikoo fruit is unlikely to exist in classical Sanskrit.  Like the ubiquitous chili, potato, tomato, tobacco it came to the Old World after the Spanish conquests in South America in the 16th century, where these crops are native.

That is also true of groundnut, tea, coffee, all of which came to India from outside in much later days.

A long list of plants and crops of Classical India may be seen in the AmarakoSha.

Dhanyavadah,

 

I recently stated learning samskrit with help of Samskrita Bharati.

Could you please tell me what is AmarakoSha?  and where can I get this?

 

 

Thanks and Regards

Pavananandan KULKARNI

Pavananandan,

AmarakoSha is a dictionary - more correctly a thesaurus - of Sanskrit words, created by Amarasinha in around the 5th century and is considered the most standard work of its type, of which there are several others.

It is digitally available at several places.  You may look for it in archive.org, books.google.com or at sanskritdocuments.org

GOOD INFO.

I THOUGHT ONION ALSO BELONGED TO THIS LIST.

MY COBROTHER POINTED OUT THAT SAVTA MALI MENTIONS KANDA(MARATHI FOR ONION).

A SEARCH SHOWED PANANDU AS ITS SANSKRIT NAME.

WHAT IS ENGLISH FOR CHIKOO?

A great contribution indeed.

But for several words in unicode when asked for homonyms, "please check the spelling" was the response. As far as I could see, spelling input was OK.

It would have been of greater use if the gender of a homonym had been indicated.

Regards

Murthy

Dear Members of Samskrita,
Namaskara !!!!!!!!!

If you want to know more about any vegetable (used in India),

I would like to recommend the NMPB database from the National Medicinal Plants Board (NMPB), Department of AYUSH, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India.

Though it’s a database for medicinal plants(used in ayurveda etc), one can find details of most of the vegetables/ edible plants.

Link:

www.medicinalplants.in/v/

This database, in electronic form, is now being developed by IAIM-FRLHT with financial support by NMPB so that it is hosted on NMPB website/Portal for appropriate use by the practitioners of Indian Systems of Medicine, herbal industries, scholars, researchers, resource managers as well as policy makers. The first version of this database correlates 7263 botanical names with around 1,00,000 vernacular names of plants entities in nine different languages .It also includes > 5000 plant images of medicinal plants and appropriately linked to the proper botanical names.

One can search a plant using botanical name OR any of the vernacular names from languages viz Sanskrit, Hindi, English, Marathi, Kannada, Urdu, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Tibetan.

[Ramakrishnan D]

Dear Members, 

In the "www.medicinalplants.in", in Telugu names for 'sapota', the samskritam name is given as 

'amritaphala' & 'tanka'.

But in Hindi for chikoo or chikkoo or cheekoo etc, it shows no reply.

Kind information.

D.Ramakrishnan.
