Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryBrahmavali (ब्रह्मवलि).—(-lipi), Lalitavistara 125.21, or brahma-vāṇī (vv.ll. °cārī, °rārī), sc. lipi, Mahāvastu i.135.5, name of a kind of script. Instead of this word, Tibetan translation(s) of Lalitavistara has two other terms, ya ba na (= yavana-; note that the pre- ceding word in Mahāvastu is yonānī, q.v.), and bag le pa, which I cannot interpret. Lefm. reports no v.l. in his mss. (Calcutta (see LV.) °valli-).
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.
