Glosses and examples are the essential components of the computational lexical databases like, Wordnet. These two components of the lexical database can be used in building domain ontologies, semantic relations, phrase structure rules etc., and can help automatic or manual word sense disambiguation tasks. The present paper aims to highlight the importance of gloss in the process of WSD based on the experiences from building Sanskrit Wordnet. This paper presents a survey of Sanskrit Synonymy lexica, use of Navya-Nyāya terminology in developing a gloss and the kind of patterns evolved that are useful for the computational purpose of WSD with special reference to Sanskrit.
