Naktaṃdina (नक्तंदिन) refers to “night and day” and is mentioned in verse 2.46 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] therefore (he who is) circumspect in worldly matters shall follow this alone. Soft-mindedness, liberality, control of body, speech, and mind, (and) in other (people’s) affairs the (same) attitude (as) in one’s own affairs: thus noble conduct (is) perfect. ‘My nights and days [viz., naktaṃdina] are passing now, (myself) being in what situation?’”.

Note: Naktaṃdina (“night and day”) has been turned ñin mthsan (“day and night”); ñid (for ñin) in C is an error.

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.
