Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryPārājayika (पाराजयिक).—adj., grave, extremely serious (sin), = pārājika, q.v.; the identity of the two is proved by °jayikādhyāpanna Bodhisattvabhūmi 159.22 = Pali (pārājikaṃ) ajjhā- panna (q.v. in Critical Pali Dictionary), see adhyāpadyate; similarly Bodhisattvabhūmi 180.26, see ibid.; bodhisattvasya catvāraḥ °jayika-sthānīyā dharmāḥ Bodhisattvabhūmi 158.3, 5, etc.; 159.3; they are described in this passage, but bear no resemblance to the four pārājika of monks, being evidently a recent invention patterned on that ancient category.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
