Sanskrit dictionary
Missaka (in Sanskrit) can be associated with the following Chinese terms:
1) 眉沙伽 [méi shā jiā]: “Missaka” [Sanskrit place name].
2) 眉沙伽山 [méi shā jiā shān]: “Mihintale”; “Missaka” [Sanskrit place name].
3) 眉沙迦山 [méi shā jiā shān]: “Missaka” [Sanskrit place name].
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.
