Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryNikkaṭa (निक्कट).—adj. (= Deśī ṇikkaḍa, hard), in nikkaṭa-kacchā Mahāvastu ii.87.17, epithet of a needle (so one ms.; Senart wrongly em. nikkaṭṭa-), with hard kaccha or kacchā (? perhaps edge? see s.v.).
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.
