Moṣadharma (मोषधर्म).—adj. or subst. ([bahuvrīhi] or Karmadh.? = Pali mosa-dhamma, by ‘false’ Sanskritism; Pali mosa is quasi-vṛddhi formation to Pali musā = Sanskrit mṛṣā; § 3.68), (of) deceptive quality: Śikṣāsamuccaya 261.8 evaṃ cakṣuś cendriyaṃ ca rikte muṣṭisadṛśam (but probably read rikta-muṣṭi°, see muṣṭi 3)…tucchaṃ mṛṣā-moṣadharme (dual? two things that have, or are, false and delusive qualities? but all other epithets except the very doubtful rikte are sg.!) bālopalāpanaṃ…; Daśabhūmikasūtra 43.6 (sarvasaṃskṛtaṃ) riktaṃ tucchaṃ mṛṣā-moṣadharmā-visaṃvādakaṃ (so text; note suggests °dharmaṃ vi°; possibly °dharmā, pl., though subject is sg., false and deceptive qualities or states?) bālālāpanam (read bālollāp°); note that once in Pali, Aṅguttaranikāya (Pali) v.84.24—25, musā immediately precedes mosadhammā (kāmā…tucchā musā mosa°, so printed), and should perhaps be regarded as [compound] with it. See next.

context information

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.
