Dviruttarapadasaṃdhilipi (द्विरुत्तरपदसंधिलिपि).—a kind of writing: Lalitavistara 126.8; Tibetan tshig lan lan gñis su gdab paḥi tshig gi mtshams kyi (yi ge), which Foucaux renders, (écriture) du saṃdhi (liaison) d'un mot répété deux fois, which does not make much sense to me, nor can I see how it renders the Tibetan (which however I find obscure). The text continues: yāvad- daśottarapadasaṃdhi-lipiṃ; this time Tibetan is rather dif- ferent, tshig gi mtshams bcur brgyud paḥi bar gyi (yi ge), which Foucaux renders as before (with ten for two); it seems to mean writing up to a series of ten (forming) a combination of words, or writing of combinations of words in which up to ten words follow one another. Possibly dvirut- tara° means no more than writing of two words in com- bination.

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.
