Ravaṇaka (रवणक).—A filter of bamboo.
Derivable forms: ravaṇakaḥ (रवणकः).
Ravaṇaka (रवणक).—nt., some kind of filtering vessel: °kam Mahāvyutpatti 9024 = Tibetan bum tshags gceḥu can, filter-vessel provided with a pipe; Chin. water-filter that has a tongue (spout); Japanese filter made of bamboo. Prob. = Pali ravaṇa- ghaṭa, to which the bladder is compared in Vism. 264.37, 362.36, app. because (265.1 ff.) no way of entrance (of the urine) into it is evident, while the way of exit is evident. This suggests that our words (Pali and [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit]) designate a vessel of porous material (bamboo according to Japanese) thru which water could be soaked in (and filtered), then to be poured out thru a spout.

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.
