Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryKṛśalaka (कृशलक) or Kṛśāluka.—adj. (in meaning = Sanskrit kṛśa; compare Whitney, Gr. 1227 a and b), lean: kṛśālaka Mahāvyutpatti 8812 = Tibetan skem po (but Index also cites, app. as vv.ll., kṛśaraka, kṛśāluka, and Mironov reads kṛśālaka without v.l.); kṛśālaka also mss. at Divyāvadāna 334.1; kṛśāluka Divyāvadāna 334.3 (mss. kṛṣ°); 571.11, 18, 20, 21; kṛṣāluka Mūla-Sarvāstivāda-Vinaya i.i.11 ff. In a corresponding phrase in Pali, kiso lūkho (two words) is read, and [Pali Text Society’s Pali-English Dictionary], s.v. uppaṇḍuppaṇḍuka- jāta, assumes that kṛśāluka is a false Sanskritization of this Pali version.
Kṛśalaka can also be spelled as Kṛśālaka (कृशालक), Kṛṣalaka (कृषलक), Kṛṣālaka (कृषालक).
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.
