[«previous next»] — Guthodigalla in Sanskrit glossary

Gūthoḍigalla (गूथोडिगल्ल).—(m. or nt.; gūtha plus uḍi°. q.v. or oḍi°?), cesspool: Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 144.10 (prose; cited s.v. syandanikā); 148.12 apagatagūthoḍigallaṃ (of a Buddhakṣetra), free of cesspools; here ed. says mss. all read gūthoḍillaṃ or gū- [Page214-b+ 71] thoḍyaṃ, but Kern, note to Transl., [Sacred Books of the East] 21.146, quotes the mss. as gūthoḍigalla or °gilla; in Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 425.10 (prose) all mss. are said to read gūthoḍilla (except one °ila)- paripūrṇā. A form of the same word is surely intended by Mūla-Sarvāstivāda-Vinaya iv.230.8 gūthoḍīraṃ (n. sg. nt.; so ms.; ed. em. gūthādhāraṃ).

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.
