Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryAcintika (अचिन्तिक).—(perhaps MIndic for acintyaka, q.v.? or hyper-Sanskrit for acintiya = Sanskrit acintya?), unthinkable, incomprehensible: Mahāvyutpatti 733 (Tibetan bsam gyis mi khyab pa, impenetrable by thought); (Ārya-)Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa 559.20 (verse) caryā bodhim acintikā (in line 25 below note acintyaka); kalpām acintikām (Ārya-)Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa 587.2 (= kalpān acintyakān, for unthinkable aeons).
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.
