Sanskrit dictionary
Dāṭha (दाठ).—(-dāṭha), ifc. [bahuvrīhi] for *dāṭhā (= Pali id., Sanskrit daṃṣṭrā; compare next), (large) tooth; in several anuvyañjana, buddhā…vaṭṭitadāṭhā (m. n. pl.) ca, tīkṣṇadāṭhā ca, abhagnadāṭhā ca, achinnadāthā ca, aviṣamadāṭhā ca Mahāvastu ii.44.5—6. The mss. vary, usually reading °dāṭā or °dantā; both these occur in the corresponding Pali; but in the other [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] lists (see s.v. anuvyañjana) the form is °daṃṣṭra.
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.
Prakrit-English dictionary
Dātha (दाथ) in the Prakrit language is related to the Sanskrit word: Dvāsya.
Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
