Use ACPH as the supplement to ABCH — extra synonym groups not in the main text. For meanings in English use Monier-Williams (MW).

Reading an entry

Same form as the main kośa: a synonym group (<syns>) followed by its verse, within a named section. The first entry (csl-orig/v02/acph/acph.txt):

<s>Palodayo merupfzWaM vAsavAvAsasErikO .</s>
In the sourceMeaning
<info kvvv="…devakARqaH">the subject section (here "of gods")
