Bhāṅgaka (भाङ्गक).—A tattered cloth, shred, rag.

Derivable forms: bhāṅgakaḥ (भाङ्गकः).

Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit Dictionary

Bhāṅgaka (भाङ्गक).—nt., Mahāvyutpatti 5882, or m., Mūla-Sarvāstivāda-Vinaya ii.3.2, according to Tibetan (in both) gso ras, app. worn-out or ragged garment (of cotton, ras). Perh., then, derived from Sanskrit bhaṅga (with [Boehtlingk and Roth]). The surrounding terms designate garments of fine materials, and one is tempted to assume the meaning linen garment (Sanskrit bhaṅgā, adj. bhāṅga, hemp-en); and so Chin., clearly; but even if we assume that Tibetan gso is an error for gos, garment, the word ras is said to mean only cotton.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
