Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryParimāṇavant (परिमाणवन्त्).—adj. (corresp. to Pali parimāṇa, as adj., Vin. ii.62.7 etc.), f. °vatī (āpatti), (sin) of (definite) extent (?): Mūla-Sarvāstivāda-Vinaya iii.69.8, 12, etc.; opp. a-parimāṇavatī 70.11; 72.7 ff. (= Pali aparimāṇa). The real meaning is not clear, nor is it clear which category is more serious. Pali is equally uncertain, see [Sacred Books of the East] 17.421, n. 1. It does not mean ‘if the period is known’ (N. Dutt, Introd. xiv), for the period (rātriparyanta) may be known or unknown in the case of an aparimāṇavatī, 72.7 ff.
[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.
