Tibetan seems to intend to render literally. sa ḥdzul (bar) ground glide, i.e. (animals) that glide along the ground (?); for the preceding animal names Tibetan has ass, hog, and fox (wa; but compare wa-spyaṅ, jackal). Could not the [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] mean: asses, swine, and jackals mark (indicate) the ‘ground’ (state, condition? see bhūmi 3) of him always as he is established here on earth (preceding line says he always dwells in an apāya-bhūmi)? However, Chin. dogs in the later versions; the oldest version seems to lack the word.
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.
