Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryNiṣkāruṇika (निष्कारुणिक).—adj. (compare Sanskrit kāruṇika and niṣkaruṇa; Pali has nikkaruṇa adj., but also nikkaruṇā, subst., lack of compassion, Pv. commentary 55.23; our form might be based on that), pitiless: raudracitto °ṇiko Divyāvadāna 323.3; °ṇiko Mūla-Sarvāstivāda-Vinaya i.94.1.
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.
