Avadraga (अवद्रग).—(?) , m., according to N. Dutt's interpretation of Tibetan, dinner: °go nāsti; tayā vṛṣo darśitaḥ, etaṃ praghā- tayata Mūla-Sarvāstivāda-Vinaya ii.79.7. Tibetan sa (ground, etc.) ḥdzar ba (for which [Tibetan-English Dictionary] gives a meaning taking dinner at midday). Acc. to Sanskrit Lex. avadraṅga (compare next) or v.l. avaḍaṅga = market ([Boehtlingk and Roth] 1.473); avadraga could be an error for avadraṃga, and there was no market (where meat could be bought) would be a possible meaning; I do not understand Tibetan

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.
