Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryBhrūṇadheya (भ्रूणधेय).—(see -dheya), in °yam idaṃ cittaṃ niḥsāram anidarśanam Udānavarga xxxi.4. This [compound] of -dheya not recorded in Pali; is it a false Sanskritization of the trouble- some Pali word bhūna-ha or °hu? This word the Pali comms. seem evidently to misunderstand. Cf. Renou, JA 1939, p. 348 with n. 1, who connects the Pali word with Vedic and Sanskrit bhrūṇa-han; according to his note 1, the Sanskrit form is to be ‘restored’ in Dharmasamuccaya 16.8. Renou apparently did not know our [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] form, which seems only to complicate the question further. It is clear, in any case, that it is an uncomplimentary epithet. The Pali comms. interpret the Pali as destroying prosperity or welfare.
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.
