(compare Sanskrit pārṇa, hut of leaves, according to Galanos; Prakrit paṇṇa, leafy), perhaps hermit as dwelling in a hut of leaves: °sī Mahāvyutpatti 7134 = Tibetan ṅom(s) pa, hermit ([Tibetan-English Dictionary]). But Mironov reads vārṇa-(v.l. raṇa-)-vāśī (vv.ll. vāsī, -pāsī).
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.
