Vism. 293.21 as de- intoxication of intoxication; [Pali Text Society’s Pali-English Dictionary] takes nimmadana s.v. from Sanskrit root mṛd, crushing; possibly, in [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] at least, it may mean washing away, see nirmādayati (but in Pali nimmādeti, sometimes written nimmadeti, means insults): Mahāvastu iii.200.11 yam idaṃ °danaṃ pipāsā-prativinayo ālaya- samudghāto…virāgo…(close parallel to Pali, above).
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.
