Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionarySiṃhāsapīṭha (सिंहासपीठ).—(?) (°supīṭha ?), adj., only in first half of an anuṣṭubh verse, °pīṭho (or °pīṭhā) balavān: Mahāvastu ii.431.17 (here printed as prose, wrongly); 458.10; iii.7.2, 13; 13.9; so mss., with practically no variants except °sa° or °su°, °ṭhā or °ṭho; Senart has various emendations and suggested interpretations, doubting at last (iii n. 466) his suggestion of ii n. 568, -sapīṭha = sadṛśa, (lion-)like; except that the meaning must be in effect strong, or the like, I cannot interpret the word. It may be [compound] with the following balavān, and is doubtless corrupt. (Divide siṃhāsa-[= siṃhāsana-]-pīṭho?)
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.
