Ṛlla (ऋल्ल).—m. (compare next), something like prize-fighter: naṭa-nartaka-ṛlla-malla- etc. Mahāvastu i.231.12, and in similar cpds. Mahāvastu i.259.5; ii.100.10; 150.4; 153.17; 156.9; iii.57.9; 113.3; 141.17; 161.3; 255.11; 266.5; 442.9. Senart on i.231.12, note, was inclined to think the word a graphic error for jhalla, as was Burnouf (see next); but he kept the mss. reading, which seems too common to emend.

context information

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.
