Triḥsahasrā (त्रिःसहस्रा).—(only f.) = trisahasrā, see °ra; like the latter only in verses, and °sah° presumably m.c. for °sāh°; printed in Lalitavistara 368.7 (°rā), 11 (°rā) and 21 (°rāṃ, here with medinī = °nīṃ); all mss. in 7 and 21, and all but one (A, the best) in 11, read tri-sah°, unmetrical(ly), Lefm. em. m.c.; trī° would be equally satisfactory but A triḥ° in 11; triḥs- can be interpreted as doubling of the sibilant m.c., but doubtless influence of tris, thrice, is involved. No noun accompanies the (substantivized) adj. in 7, 11.

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.
