Acc. to the Pali Vin. commentary, it lasted for a time equal to that elapsed since the offender's ordination (see [Sacred Books of the East] 17.417, note 1).
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.
