Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryVivipāta (विविपात).—(vi-vipāta), adj. (vi plus vipāta, Sanskrit Gr., to Sanskrit vi-pat-, depart, fall away, become separated), without quitting: °tena (so with v.l. for Senart vinipātena) nāgarājena… parikṣiptā (mss.; read °to? sc. the Buddha), parikṣipi hi mahatā paribhogena saptāhaṃ Mahāvastu iii.301.6. Senart (Index) app. takes Vinipāta as n. pr. (proper name) of the nāga-king who ‘en- compassed’ and protected the Buddha. But his name has just been given (line 4) as Mucilinda; no second nāga can be concerned; vinipātena makes no sense.
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.
