Sanskrit dictionary

Noted only in (Ārya-)Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa, but not rare there; usually acc. sg. diśim; sometimes (notably 205.26, where it seems clearly to be taken so, § 4.59, end) this could be interpreted as loc. diśi plus ‘hiatus-bridging’ m; among the cases which are certainly acc. are: dakṣiṇāṃ diśim āśritāḥ (Ārya-)Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa 326.18, and…āśritya 626.26; prāciṃ (°cīṃ) diśim upādāya 620.1 (these all verses). The great corruption of the text of (Ārya-)Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa might tempt to emendation (diśam would be easy), but AMg. seems to confirm the form.
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.
