As we progress by leaps and bounds in the 21st century, we fail to value some of the most (less)

Indian kosa-s, all written in Sanskrit, were but thesauri of synonyms and antonyms, the concept of arranging words in alphabetical order being conspicuously absent. The first Sanskrit dictionary with western system of alphabetical order was the Sanskrit-English Dictionary compiled by Professor Horace Hayman Wilson and published in 1813.

Two Indian works, viz. the sabdakalpadruma, compiled by the Pandits of Sir Raja Radhakanta Dev and the Vacasptya compiled by Pandit Taranatha Tarkavacaspati, followed suit.

But the real predecessor of Monier Monier-Williams was the Sanskrit-German Dictionary, Sanskrit-Worterbuch, compiled by Otto Bohtlingk and Rudolph Roth, published from St. Petersburg, in twenty-four years, 1852-1875.

Though Monier-Williams acknowledged his indebtedness to the Sanskrit-Worterbuch, he worked for his dictionary on a plan of his own (less)
