Source: DDSA: The practical Sanskrit-English dictionaryPṛṣodara (पृषोदर).—Wind, air. (The word is supposed to be compounded of pṛṣat and udara, the t of pṛṣat being dropped as an irregular case. The word is thus taken as the type of a whole class of such irregular compounds.) पूषोदरादित्वात् साधुः (pūṣodarāditvāt sādhuḥ), see Gaṇa. to P.VI.3.19.
Derivable forms: pṛṣodaraḥ (पृषोदरः).

But in his other works this word is taken as a type of such irregular compounds. According to others:—E. pṛṣat a drop of any thing liquid, and udara the belly, form irregular and special; the word is most commonly in use as a grammatical term, being the leading word of a class in which the formation of each is peculiar to itself, and being thence applied to designate the rule which comprehends the whole of the series.

[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.
