Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryCundadvīla (चुन्दद्वील).—(v.l. -vīra), nt., or -dvīlā (v.l. -vīrā), f., name of a locality (adhiṣṭhāna) between Aparagayā and Benares, home of the yakṣa Cunda (2): Mahāvastu iii.325.11 (nt.); 327.18 (fem.). Seems to be the same as Pali Cundatthiya, °ṭṭhila, °tthika, Pv iii.1.2 and commentary pp. 168—170 (cited Malalasekara (Dictionary of Pali Proper Names) as Cundaṭṭhīla, v.l. Cundavīla, but neither form is recorded in texts or Crit. App.).
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.
