Sānukālam (सानुकालम्).—adv., at (some specified, but to me unknown) time: gacchāmi sānukālaṃ tasya dārakasya bhaktaṃ nayāmi (said by the youth's mother); sā °laṃ gatvā…Divyāvadāna 88.2—3. One would be tempted to assume sānu = sānuka (prec., q.v.), at the time of the sānu(ka) muhūrta; but that muhūrta occurs in the first half of the night according to Divyāvadāna 643.24, while this passage clearly refers to daytime.

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.
