Niṣpula (निष्पुल).—(?) , nt. (Mironov niṣphalam, v.l. niṣpulam, nippulam; Kyoto ed. has the same vv.ll.), according to one Tibetan gloss, sñigs ma med pa, without impurity (sediment) Mahāvyutpatti 7635; so one Chin. interpretation; precedes apagata- phalguḥ (see phalgu), of similar meaning; AMg. pula is cited [Ardha-Māgadhī Dictionary] v.73 as meaning tumour, but whether it is con- nected with our word does not appear; another Tibetan gloss is śin tu (or, te) med pa, which would seem to mean com- pletely non-existent (unless we should em. śin tu or te to śiṅ tog, fruit, in which case the [compound] would mean without fruit, niṣphala). Very obscure.

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.
