Romavivara (रोमविवर).—m. and nt., name of a series of mythical regions which belong to Avalokiteśvara, each one given a name (Suvarṇa, Kṛṣṇá, etc.), and its inhabitants (e.g. gandharvas, ṛṣis, Bodhisattvas, etc.) specified: Kāraṇḍavvūha 59.13 ff.; 60.3 ff.; 62.3 ff.; 64.8 ff., 65.12 ff.; 67.7, colophon (read romavivara-varṇanaṃ for text °vivaraṇa-var°); 84.13 ff.; 87.14—15. The word occurs in Sanskrit in the meaning pore of the skin (= Sanskrit romakūpa), but this can hardly be concerned here; has roma something to do with Sanskrit Romā, Rome, Romaka, Roman(s), etc.?

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.
