(-kam) (In Rhetoric.) One of the alaṅkāras or modes of writing or speaking elegantly, a variety of the alaṅkāra dīpaka q. v.; viz. when a variegated description reposes on, and is illustrated as it were by, a verb which is placed at the end of the sentence. (It would seem that the injunction of the principal rhetorical works according to which there must be several verbs and but one subject in a dīpaka has not been considered as absolute, as results from this instance: sa giriṃ taruṣaṇḍamaṇḍitaṃ samavāpya tvarayā latāmṛgaḥ . smitadarśitakāryaniścayaḥ kapisainyairmuditairamaṇḍayat where there is but one verb viz. amaṇḍayat which has the properties required in this dīpaka. Compare also ādidīpaka, madhyadīpaka, pratīpadīpaka and mālādīpaka.) E. anta and dīpaka.
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.
