(for hrāse, loc. of hrāsa, diminution?), is obscure to me; occurs five times in a series of śloka verses (in many of which both meter and sense are bad, as the text is printed) in (Ārya-)Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa, evidently dealing with astro- nomical portents: tato hrāsi madhyāhne (submetrical! as 4th syllable from end, -i could be m.c. for -e) aparāhne divākare (Ārya-)Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa 276.6; tamo (read tato with all the rest ? or contrariwise, should they all be emended to tamo for tato ?) hrāsi-gate bhānoḥ kṣmākampo yadi jāyate ib. 11; tato hrāsi yāme vai (submetrical) calite vasumatī tadā (! hypermetric) 277.1; tato hrāsi yāmānte (submetrical) dṛśyate karma dāruṇam 3; tato hrāsi-madhye tu (sub- metrical) ante yāme prajāyate 17.
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.
