Karhacid (कर्हचिद्).—(?) , adv. (compare Sanskrit karhi-cid; = Pali karaha-ci, only after kadā-ci, and in same meaning according to Dīghanikāya (Pali) commentary i.110.3), ever, at any time: in one old ms. of Saddharmapuṇḍarīka inserted after kadācid Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 257.1 (prose), Baruch, Beiträge zum Saddharmapuṇḍarīkasūtra, 23 and 28; omitted in all other mss. The coincidence with Pali usage is so extra- ordinary that I am inclined with Baruch to regard it as old.

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.
