Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryPakvataila (पक्वतैल).—(compare Pali telaṃ pakkaṃ, Dhammapada (Pali) commentary i.12.8, oil has been prepared, lit. cooked, sc. to be used as ointment), prepared oil (ointment?): te dāni °lena bhaga- vantaṃ nimantrayetsuḥ Mahāvastu iii.329.14. The corresp. Pali [compound] seems to be pāka-tela; e.g. Dhammapada (Pali) commentary iii.311.8—9 sata-pāka-telena, with oil a hundred times refined (Bur- lingame, HOS 30.105). Is -āk- here for -akk- by the Morengesetz ? The form to be expected is Pali pakka = pakva.
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.
