2) The worst kind of spirituous liquor, viz. surā. [The latter meaning requires an explanation: Manu 11. 93 says: surā vai malamannānāṃ &c. and forbids the drinking of the spirituous liquor surā to a man of the three first castes; Kullūka in his comment seems to take malamannānāṃ or annamala in the general sense of ‘extract of rice’, because surā is made from the flower of rice (taṇḍulapiṣṭasādhyatvātsurā annamalam); but Pulastya, as quoted by Vijnāneśvara in the Mitākṣara names twelve sorts of intoxicating drinks, stating that surā is the very worst description amongst them: pānasaṃ drākṣaṃ mādhūkaṃ khārjūraṃ tālamaikṣavam . madhūtthaṃ sairamāriṣṭamaireyaṃ nārikelajam . samānāni vijānīyānmadyānyekādaśaiva tu . dvādaśaṃ tu surāmadyaṃ sarveṣāmadhamaṃ smṛtam; and Vijnāneśvara in commenting upon the quoted passage of Manu and adducing Pāṇ. Ii. 1. 34. where the word anna means a preparation of rice &c. observes that it is intended to convey in this passage the sense of spirituous liquor, the latter being also an annavikāra or preparation of rice, and surā being used also in the Sautrāmaṇī libations in the sense of spirituous liquor made of rice: ‘surā vai malamannānāṃ pāpmā ca malamucyata iti . annavikārasyaiva surātvanirdeśādannaśabdasya cānnena vyañjanamityādiṣu vrīhyādivikāra eva prayogadarśanādguḍamadhunośca rasarūpatvāttathā sautrāmaṇīgraheṣu cānnavikāra eva surāśabdasya śrutatvāt . ’. For this meaning of anna compare also annapeya.] E. anna and mala.

[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.
