Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryKuṇḍopadhānīyaka (कुण्डोपधानीयक).—lit. app. using a water-jar for a pillow (so [Boehtlingk and Roth]), epithet of Pūrṇa (4), q.v.: Divyāvadāna 44.8; 45.1, where he is declared by the Buddha to be the first of receivers of food-tickets (śalākā, 3, q.v.) among his disciples. This identifies him with Pali Kuṇḍa-dhāna (see Malalasekara (Dictionary of Pali Proper Names) s.v.), a name also applied in Malalasekara (Dictionary of Pali Proper Names) to 1 Puṇṇa; Kuṇ° seems to be his regular name, but it is said to have been originally Dhāna, and the prefixation of Kuṇḍa-is ex- plained in a way which would not fit the [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] epithet.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
