Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryVarjayati (वर्जयति).—in phrase ārdravṛkṣe vā (or va) varjayitvā (varjetvā, varjitvā) Mahāvastu i.7.5; 11.12; 17.9; 20.12; 24.9 (or °vṛkṣeṣu varjitāḥ 12.15, mss.), object being the wicked in various hells, subject their tormentors; according to Senart (note 375) rejetant, repoussant (les damnés) sous un arbre verdoyant (they tear or devour their flesh, or the like). I venture to guess that it means impaling them on a fresh, green tree (stump or branch). But I cannot explain this meaning in terms of varj-or ā-varj-; vā (almost always preceding the gerund) is also difficult (Senart assumes it stands for eva); I suspect some corruption.
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.
