Ekameka (एकमेक).—āmreḍita [compound] (= Pali id., Sanskrit ekaika; m ‘hiatus-bridger’), one by one: Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 146.3 (verse) °ke, nom. pl. m. (vṛkṣa); Lalitavistara 172.21 (verse) ekameka (nom. sg. f.) buddhapūj’ acintiyā (so interpret text); 237.3 (verse) ekameka (nom. sg. m.)…suro; 310.2 (verse) bhujaikamekena (= bhujā, nom. pl., ek°, adv.), the (100) arms, one by one; Mahāvastu ii.49.12 ekameko; each one (of a group), each separate one, Mahāvastu ii.178.14 °ko samartho…; °kasmiṃ Mahāvastu ii.191.21; 273.11, 12; 485.11; 490.12; in Mahāvastu iii.358.5 (prose) ekame- kāye hastāye, seems to be intensive āmreḍita, for just one (single) hand, since line 7 refers back to this with hasto chinno, and the second hand is specifically dealt with in line 9; yet in so loosely written a text as Mahāvastu it is perhaps possible that the phrase in line 5 means for each hand in turn.

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.
