Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryKharapostā (खरपोस्ता).—n. sg., name of a yakṣa: Mahā-Māyūrī 33. See Lévi 74, who thinks-postā preserves a relative of Sanskrit pustaka, which according to Gauthiot, MSL 19 (1915).130, was borrowed from Iranian pōst, skin; ass-skin is what at least one Chin. translation(s) renders; but there is some suggestion of a reading lomā (Sanskrit loman) instead of -postā.
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.
