Gem of Amara?
I changed the spelling from Amarra to Amara, because that's how the subtitles on the DVD spell it. If there is some more canonical source for the other spelling, it can be changed back. --Jwwalker 03:10, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

"Amara" is a Sanskrit word meaning "immortal." Here it may relate to the Amarakosha or "Immortal Treasure," a book of synonyms which may have inspired Roget's Thesaurus. It was compiled over a thousand years ago by the scholar Amarasimha, who was counted as one of the Navaratnas or "Nine Gems" at the court of the legendary emperor Vikramaditya. These terms were all used metaphorically, but in the Buffyverse they have become concrete. NRPanikker (talk) 16:54, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

The writer, Jane Espenson, had worked with the cognitive linguist George Lakoff on the metaphorical understanding of event structure in English. Lakoff showed that metaphors were cross-domain mappings in the conceptual system. NRPanikker (talk) 11:37, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Buffy403.jpg
Image:Buffy403.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
