(to saṃlekha, q.v., plus -ika; § 3.3), relating to severe austerities: kuryāḥ °kīṃ kathāṃ Śikṣāsamuccaya 354.14 (verse); ms. sāl°, ed. em. sāṃl°, which is cited p. 415 as reading of a ms. of Samādhirājasūtra containing the passage; but sāl° (compare Pali sallekha) would be possible.
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.
