(compare Pali °paka), (food) having curry (sauce) equal (to the rice in amount): na °kam (sc. pratigrahīṣyāmaḥ) Mahāvyutpatti 8566; in the Pali parallels, Vin. iv.190.24 and 192.4, there is no negative, and samasūpa- kaṃ must be taken to mean having sauce in the right amount, which according to the commentary 892.1 is one quarter of the rice.
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.
