Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryMukhapuṣpaka (मुखपुष्पक).—nt., Mahāvyutpatti 6049; Lalitavistara 201.19 (verse), and mukha-phullaka, nt., Mahāvyutpatti 6048; Mahāvastu ii.470.9, some kind of ornament, in lists of ornaments: Tibetan on Mahāvyutpatti for both me tog (flower) rgyan (ornament), for °puṣpaka also spen tog (ornament, finery) rgyan; Tibetan on Lalitavistara only me tog, om. mukha. The force of mukha is uncertain: face-flower (some ornament for the face or head?), or prime, first-class flower? In Mahāvastu they are made by goldsmiths; evidently therefore of precious metal, which seems suggested by the context in Lalitavistara also.

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.
