Ujjaṅkikā (उज्जङ्किका).—some kind of attitude or behavior which monks must avoid in begging food: Mahāvyutpatti 8546 nojjaṅki- kayā (instr.). Tibetan ḥjol thabs su (? perhaps with robe dragging, sc. on the ground?); Chin. (here) apparently pulling at clothes while walking; elsewhere, according to Wogihara, Lex. 41, Chin. walking on tiptoe, and so Japanese on Mahāvyutpatti. The [Boehtlingk] 7.322 says the ‘correct’ reading would be ujjakṣikā, and Wogihara, Lex. 41, suggests that the corresponding Pali is ujjhaggikā (or rather, by em. ujjagghikā), Vin. iv.187.16, which means laughing, derision, see uccagghati; this seems indeed quite possible.
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.
