Sanskrit dictionary
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryOsaraṇa (ओसरण).—nt. (to next; = Pali id.), entrance, approach: Mahāvastu ii.37.9 osaraṇe (mss. osakaṇe) ca bharitā addaśi pramadā, at the entrance (to the king's palace)…(other- wise Senart); ii.108.8 kasya eṣa osaraṇaśabdaḥ (? mss. te saraṇa°, or te śaraśa°), whose noise of approach is this? In Mahāvastu iii.401.1 osaraṇāni, in a line otherwise hopelessly corrupt, corresponds to the same word in the same verse of Pali Sn 538, the rest of which seems also corrupt (so ed.); the commentary says it means heretical views (ogahanāni titthāni, diṭṭhiyo). Senart's em. and interpretation of the line are unconvincing; but the Pali is also dubious, and its commentary questionable. I cannot solve the problem.

Osāraṇā (ओसारणा).—also °ṇa (= Pali id.; compare avasāraṇa; to prec., 2, plus -aṇā), restitution (to good standing, of a monk or nun that has been disciplined): °ṇāṃ yācantam Bhikṣuṇī-karmavācanā 28b.5; 29a.4; °nāṃ yācasva 29a.1; °ṇā yācitavyā Mūla-Sarvāstivāda-Vinaya ii.192.6; °ṇaṃ 193.2, 6—7, etc. See also utsāraṇa.
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.

Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
