Namalinganusasana or Amarakosha by Amarasimha

Also called Trikanda, Amarakosha is a Sanskrit lexicon compiled in ancient India by Amarasimha who was one of the famous Navaratnas, or Nine Gems who adorned the court of the Gupta ruler Vikramaditya Chandragupta II (c. 376-415). 

Most of Amarakosha’s works have been lost to us.
