(so also Mironov; vv.ll. in the two edd. kadgara, kaṭkara, kaṅkara), some kind of bird: Mahāvyutpatti 4894, according to Tibetan (one rendering) and Chin. = the prec. item, krakara, 4893, which in Sanskrit means a kind of part- ridge; compare also Pali kakkara, said to mean jungle-cock; Tibetan also bya baṅ, which according to Jäschke (Tibetan-English Dictionary) means night-hawk, goat- sucker; or bat.
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.
