Vāgbhaṭa I’s ill-conceived interpretation of the term *aṃsa* led to another unfortunate result, inasmuch as it appears to have served as the basis of the definition of *aṃsa*, which is given in the *Amarakośa*, the famous Vocabulary of Amarasiṃha, and which, in its turn, led to the misinterpretation of the term *jatru*; see § 62, cl. 8.
