Pali-English dictionary
Vilāka, (adj.) (perhaps=vilagga (Geiger, P. Gr. § 612), although difficult to connect in meaning) only in f. °a: slender (of waist); the explanation with vilagga may refer to a comparison with a creeper (cp. vilambin & J. V, 215) as “hanging” (“climbing”) i.e. slim, but seems forced. See also virāgita which is explained in the same way. The word is peculiar to the “Jātaka” style.—J. IV, 19 (=suṭṭhu-vilaggita-tanu-majjhā); V, 155 (+mudukā; C. explains as saṅkhitta-majjhā), 215 (°majjhā=vilaggasarīrā C.), 506 (velli-vilāka-majjhā=vilagga-majjhā, tanu-dīgha-majjhā C.); VvA. 280 (°majjhā for sumajjhimā of Vv 6413; T. reads vilāta°).

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.
