Caṅ (चङ्).—A Vikarana affix of the aorist substituted for च्लि (cli) after roots ending in the causal sign णि (ṇi), as also after the roots श्रि, द्रु (śri, dru) and others; this चङ् (caṅ) causes reduplication of the preceding root form; cf. P. III 1.48-50, e. g. अचूचुरत्, अशिश्रियत् (acūcurat, aśiśriyat); cf. also P. VII. 4.93.

Caṇ (चण्).—The indeclinable च (ca) (with ण् (ṇ) as a mute letter added to it which of course disappears) possessing the sense of चेत् (cet) or condition. e.g. अयं च मरिष्यति (ayaṃ ca mariṣyati) cf. Kas, on P. VIII. 1.30.
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas.

參 [can]—参 [can] (cān) — [Term] In the Chan (Zen) school (禅门 [chan men]), whenever people gather for sitting meditation (坐禅 [zuo chan]), expounding the Dharma (说法 [shuo fa]), or chanting (念诵 [nian song]), it is called can. The character can (参 [can]) carries the meaning of "intermingling" or "participating," referring to the gathering of various individuals for an assembly. Therefore, ascending the hall in the early morning is called "early morning session" (早参 [zao can]); chanting in the evening is called "evening session" (晚参 [wan can]); and expounding the Dharma at an irregular time is called "minor session" (小参 [xiao can]). The word can (参 [can]) is often used at the end of a master's instruction. It implies comprehending the subtle essence beyond words. The Xiangqi Jian states: "Can (参 [can]) means to attend to respectfully, and to present oneself before."
參—【術語】凡禪門集人為坐禪說法念誦，謂之參。參者交參之義，謂眾類參會也。故詰旦升堂，謂之早參，日暮念誦，謂之晚參，非時說法，謂之小參。凡垂語之尾多用參語。參言外妙旨之意也。象器箋曰：「參，趨承也。晉謁。」

Chinese Buddhism (漢傳佛教, hanchuan fojiao) is the form of Buddhism that developed in China, blending Mahayana teachings with Daoist and Confucian thought. Its texts are mainly in Classical Chinese, based on translations from Sanskrit. Major schools include Chan (Zen), Pure Land, Tiantai, and Huayan. Chinese Buddhism has greatly influenced East Asian religion and culture.
India history and geography
San (in the Newari language) translates to “Haii” (in English); as mentioned in the appendix of the translation of the Vanshavali or Bansawali (“history and genealogical accounts of Nepal”). The Newari word ‘San’ is known in the Parbatiya language as Raun.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
