Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryAnuvarga (अनुवर्ग).—(m. ? = Pali °vagga, see below), some part or accessory of a city gate: dvinnāṃ varṇānāṃ anuvargā abhunsuḥ (sc. teṣāṃ dvārāṇāṃ) Mahāvastu i.195.(11—)12. Cf. Pali Bv i.14 tulā saṃghāṭānuvaggā sovaṇṇaphalakatthatā. Critical Pali Dictionary interprets anuvaggā as adj., citing commentary, = anurūpā. But this is proved wrong by Mahāvastu; like tulā, which occurs in the prec. line of Mahāvastu, it must be a part of a structure. See Senart's note for a conjectural attempt at interpreta- tion.
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.
