(= Sanskrit pratikūla), in a-prati°, not offensive: Mahāvastu iii.341.8 (prose), according to Senart, °laṃ. If correct, could be taken as false Sanskritization of Pali paṭik- [Page370-a+ 71] kūla (explained JAOS 41.462 ff.). But v.l. apratikulaṃ (so!), and parallels i.207.1; ii.10.11; iii.343.1 all pratikūla without v.l.
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.
