Daśabhūmaka (दशभूमक).—or °mika, m. or nt., also °ka-sūtra, name of a work, = our Daśabhūmikasūtra; see Rahder p. iii ff. on relations to other texts, especially Mahāvastu, which cites a text certainly different from Daśabhūmikasūtra, tho resembling it; Śikṣāsamuccaya (ms.) seems always to read °aka; Mahāvyutpatti 1350 °mikam, nt.; (Ārya-)Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa 109.28 °makaḥ, m.; Mahāvastu and Bodhisattvabhūmi record both °aka and °ika: Mahāvastu i.63.15 (°ko, m.) and 16 Senart °mika, but 5 of 6 mss. °maka; i.193.8, 9, 10 mss. all °mika(ṃ, nt.); Śikṣāsamuccaya (°maka) 227.11; 291.11; °makasūtra 10.15; 11.10; 126.9; 287.14 (ed. °mika° in 10.15 and 11.10 but ms. °maka°); some, at least, of Śikṣāsamuccaya citations are from Rahder's Daśabhūmikasūtra, e.g. 227. 11 ff. from Daśabhūmikasūtra 50.26 ff.; Bodhisattvabhūmi names several of the ten bhūmi, °mika 332.20 f. (naming Pramudita, read °tā); 334.24 (Vimalā); 343.16 (Sudurjayā); °maka 338.17 (Prabhākarā); 341.2 (Arciṣmatī).

context information

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.
