Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryPracchandikatā (प्रच्छन्दिकता).—(-pracchandika-tā), desirous-ness, eager-ness, in tīvra-pracchandikatayā bodhisattvamārgaṃ paryeṣante Gaṇḍavyūha 492.26, with ardent eagerness…; compare Pali tibba-chanda. No *pracchanda, eager desire, seems to be recorded anywhere, but it seems implied as an intensive to Sanskrit chanda, underlying this adjective.
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.
