(-dā) (ved.) The act of destroying, de-struction; applied as an epithet in the sense of ‘destroyer’ to Aryaman, in the Ṛgv. verse: huve vo devīmaditiṃ namobhirmṛLīkāya varuṇaṃ mitramagnim . abhikṣadāmaryamaṇaṃ suśevam &c. (Sāyaṇa: abhikṣadām . kṣadirhiṃsākarma . abhikṣattāraṃ śatrūṇāṃ hiṃsitāram &c.). E. kṣad with abhi, kṛt aff. aṅ (?); E. and meaning seem to result not merely from the quoted comm. of Sāyaṇa, but from the Pada text which divides abhikṣadā (not abhikṣadā).
[Sanskrit to German]
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.
