Basically, the three stand for the outer or tangible (补诲丑颈产丑奴迟补), the intangible described as divine (adhidaiva) and the one pertaining to the 鈥榮elf鈥� identified with the body, mindm, 膩tman, etc. (补诲丑测腻迟尘补). This triad has very deep roots in Indian though reflected in Vedic and later literature.
Adhidaivata has been identified with puru峁 or 膩tman because all the devat膩s reside in it. Adhidaiva (or adhidevata or adhidaivata) means all that belongs to the deities. It also means the divine creation. Finally, the word adhidaiva refers to the Supreme Deity, the Primordial Man, the cause of the material creation (辫耻谤耻峁艣肠腻诲丑颈诲补颈惫补迟补尘). The word deva is derived from the root div-鈥榯o shine, be bright鈥� with the suffix ac; deva becomes daiva when the suffix 补峁� is added to deva with the prefix adhi, the word daiva becomes adhidaivam, a neuter indeclinable compound.
Kosha (啶曕啶�, ko艣a) refers to Sanskrit lexicons intended to provide additional information regarding technical terms used in religion, philosophy and the various sciences (shastra). The oldest extant thesaurus (kosha) dates to the 4th century AD.
