(= Pali id.; neg. of vyāpāda, q.v.), non-malice: Lalitavistara 32.22, see s.v. vyāpāda; Mahāvyutpatti 1597, see id.; Udānavarga xv. 18, read avyāpāde for text tyāpāde with initial syllable missing. (Tibetan ḥchi ba med, non-death or non- killing, is due to false rendering of vyāpāda, in accord with regular Sanskrit usage.)
[Sanskrit to German]
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.
