Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryApakṣya (अपक्ष्य).—(?) , adj. (compare Sanskrit pakṣya, adherent of a party, as deva-p°), having no adherents: doubtful reading, Lalitavistara 301.4 (verse), Lefm. apakṣyapakṣyo, but many mss. apakṣa- pakṣo; we must read certainly pakṣo, and before it as a separate word apakṣya or apakṣa (n. sg. m.), your (Māra's) party is without adherents. The form apakṣa occurs in Sanskrit (Mahābhārata Crit. ed. 1.134.24) and in Lalitavistara 273.3 saṃsāra- pakṣāpakṣa-karaṇa-gatiḥ, with the gait of one who makes partisanless the party of the saṃsāra; Lalitavistara 302.13 (Māraḥ) svapakṣaṃ cāpakṣam apaśyat, saw his party without adherents (i.e. annihilated); also in Pali as apakkha (which however could of course = apakṣya); whereas apakṣya has not been noted elsewhere.
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.
