(see s.v. āyuṣmaṃ): āvusa, as if voc. to a stem of that form, is used repeatedly as an address in AdP, e.g. 13.4, 10, 22, etc. In Mahāvastu i.91.6 (verse) Senart reads āvuso; meter needs —ux; mss. āyuṣaḥ (note that no form of āyuṣmant is metrically possible), ānuṣaḥ, onuṣaḥ, ānuṣa; in Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 378.1 (prose) Kashgar recension āvusāho (for ed. āyuṣmanto), certainly to be read (voc. pl. of a stem āvusa, as in AdP, with ending āho, § 8.88); in Mahāvastu i.317.15, 16 (prose) āvusāvo seems to be found in the same sense (mss. unanimous on -vo; see § 8.89; in 16 mss. ānusāvo or anu°, but no v.l. in 15).
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.
