Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryPeliyakṣa (पेलियक्ष).—(= Pali Piliyakkha), name of a king of Be-nares, in the Śyāmaka Jātaka: Mahāvastu ii.212.15 ff. In 226.1 (verse) Senart reads Peliyaśo; the mss. are clearly corrupt; perhaps read Pĕlīyakho, or Pil° (compare Pali), an adaptation m.c. of a MIndic form of the name.
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.
