(Pali id., Vin. ii.110.18; Jātaka (Pali) ii.147.11; [Pali Text Society’s Pali-English Dictionary] cites only °bhū), lizard: perhaps (as suggested in Senart's note) read sarabūṇāṃ vā (gen. pl.) Mahāvastu i.20.6; 23.2, before undurūṇāṃ vā, in a list of animals; mss. very confused; Senart's text em. kiṃpuruṣ(ak)āṇāṃ, supposed to mean monkey (which is unsupported and implausible).
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.
