Audāra (औदार).—adj. (compare Pali oḷāra, once, Pv. commentary 110.2 in gloss on atulaṃ, = appamāṇaṃ oḷāraṃ paṇītaṃ, but [Pali Text Society’s Pali-English Dictionary] would read uḷāraṃ with v.l.; = Sanskrit udāra, or [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] audārika), (1) large, vast, of radiance, avabhāsa: Divyāvadāna 207.6 audāre avabhāsanimitte prāviṣkṛte; compare 63.17 ff. udārāvabhāsaḥ, and 201.22 audārike avabhāsanimitte prāviṣkriyamāṇe; the usual meaning of audārika might suggest material, corporeal, i.e. physically actualized, but the paral- lels are against this; compare Mahāvastu i.41.3 aprameyasya udārasya ca mahato avabhāsasya…, and similarly in parallels (collected s.v. lokāntarikā); (2) gross, unrefined (= au- dārika): Gaṇḍavyūha 534.20 audārādhimuktikānāṃ viśuddhaye; this cannot = udāra- (tho this is compounded elsewhere with adhimuktika, q.v.) since that is a complimentary term, and this is not (compare the parallel 534.23 saṃkliṣṭānāṃ sattvānāṃ viśuddhaye, and similarly 534.26).

context information

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.
