Rabhasa or Rabhasapala is often quoted by Sarvananda and later commentators. Aufrecht, ZDMG, 28,107, notices a quotation from Rabhasa in Kṣirasvamin's commentary on Amara II, 9. 1-77, which, however, is not found either in Oka's edition or in the Trivandrum edition of the Namalingānusāsana which contains Kanda II of that commentary. According to Colebrooke and Wilson, Rabhasa has been expressly counted among the sources of Amara. But the reverse seems to be truth. From quotations in Sarvananda's commentary on Amara we find that in some instances Rabhasa not only agrees with Amara in whole passages, but even adds to them which seems to prove his posteriority. The agreement lies, also in the arrangement, viz., in having separate portions for synonyms and homonyms and in arranging the latter after the final consonants.*
