Sanskrit dictionary
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryAcchati (अच्छति).—(= Pali id., Prakrit acchai), sits: acchā drume tuva Lalitavistara 343.2 (verse) sit at the tree!; [(pīṭhe) acchati Mahāvastu ii.379.5 (verse), but this is surely an error for acchambhī of Śikṣāsamuccaya 303.3, which meter requires;] kausīdyaṃ acchati Śikṣāsamuccaya 298.4 (could be sits in sloth, but might also be goes to sloth as Bendall assumes following Pischel 480; in Lalitavistara this is impossible).
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.
