Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryBiliśa (बिलिश).—(so once in Sanskrit for regular baḍiśa, Suparṇ., [Boehtlingk] 4.226; and note Prakrit biḍisa, [Paia-sadda-mahaṇṇavo]; Pali only baḷisa, bal°), fishhook; some form or [compound] of this word is to be read in Mahāvastu iii.259.2, for mss. bilaśa (v.l. billaśa)-tāni- kāyetsuḥ, and 260.16 (verse), same reading, except that both mss. read billa° here; evidently a verb is concealed in the end; Senart reads pāṭensuḥ, and before it bila- śatāni, which is impossible. It is possible that bilaśa- (with one ms.) is the true reading, tho it is not recorded anywhere. The phrase follows, both times, that containing kahāpaṇa-māṃsikaṃ (or kārṣāpaṇa°), q.v., while in Pali lists of tortures kahāpaṇakaṃ regularly follows balisa- maṃsikaṃ. It is certain that we must understand some torture by means of fishhooks; should we read biliśa-tāṃ, fishhook-condition, i.e. being torn with fishhooks? The preceding words are much like those quoted as occurring before kahāpaṇa-māṃsikaṃ.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
