Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryPakṣu (पक्षु).—name of a nāga king: °ur Mahāvyutpatti 3307. Cf. Vakṣu. Tibetan Pag-śu. But it seems to be a river-name; the three preceding names are Gaṅgā-, Sindhur, and Sītā-nāgarājā; similarly in Mūla-Sarvāstivāda-Vinaya i.164.1. (Nāgas are often thought of as living in rivers, as is well known; compare Mahāvyutpatti 3304—6.) Since Vakṣu occurs as name of a river in Sanskrit, it is probably the correct form.

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.
