Ṛṇadhara (ऋणधर).—or °hara, °hāraka, adj., in cliché said after birth of a son, jāto 'smākam ṛṇaharo (254.11 °dharo; 87.17 °hārako) dhanaharo (om. 498.21; 87.18 °hārakaś ca) Divyāvadāna 87.17—18; 254.11; 301.10; 498.20—21; Mūla-Sarvāstivāda-Vinaya i.87.5. After saying this, the father announces his intention of going on a business trip to make money. The situation suggests ṛṇadhara, debt-establisher, and dhanahara, remover of wealth; i.e. a financial liability; compare AMg. aṇa-dhāraga, rendered debtor ([Ardha-Māgadhī Dictionary], [Paia-sadda-mahaṇṇavo]). But (a) ṛṇahara rather than ṛṇadhara, (or else ṛṇahāraka,) is read every time but once (h MIndic for dh?); and (b) in Divyāvadāna 5.12 mahāsamudram avatīrṇo dhanahārakaḥ, the latter means to get wealth (see hāraka; Index with money, not accurately); similarly, mahāsamudram avatareyaṃ dhanahārikaḥ (read °rakaḥ? but compare s.v. -hārika) Divyāvadāna 100.28. Not clear.

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.
