Sanskrit dictionary
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryJitam (जितम्).—apparently interj. or particle, chiefly in phrase: api hi jitaṃ Mahāvastu ii.126.9; iii.181.14; 206.10, 12; 209.12; this seems to be an expression of astonishment, something like Who'd have thought it ? That beats all! Once, in Mahāvastu iii.286.1, jitaṃ (v.l. jidaṃ) occurs by itself; the daughters of Māra, reporting to Māra, say: (any other man than the Bodhisattva, seeing us,) so jitaṃ mūrchitvā prapatiṣyad vā…cittakṣayaṃ vā prāpuṇe (but the B. was unmoved); here too astonishment might be the connotation of the particle; he, good heavens! would have fallen down fainting …, or lost his wits. No etymology is apparent for the word.
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.
