Utkṣepalipi (उत्क्षेपलिपि).—name of a kind of script: Lalitavistara 126.5; fol-lowed by nikṣepa°, vikṣepa°, and (6) prakṣepa-lipi; also, line 7, utkṣepāvarta-lipi, and (in some mss., supported by Tibetan) nikṣepāvarta-lipi.All these terms seem to be intended to refer to the shape of the letters, rather than to the countries where they are used. It is hardly possible to guess what the author meant by them, and the woodenly literal Tibetan translations give little help; Tibetan renders utkṣepa, gdeg pa, elevation (and āvarta, skor ba, turn); nikṣepa, bzhag pa or bzhog pa, putting down; vikṣepa (which Tibetan transposes to the point in line 6 where Lefm.'s [Pagĕ2-b+ 71] ms. A has it), rnam ḥthor, scattering; prakṣepa, bsnan pa, addition, increase.

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.
