Sanskrit dictionary
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryAnigha (अनिघ).—adj. (= Pali id., also anīgha), free from evil (? see nigha, nīgha); occurs chiefly (in Pali literature, aside from commentarial etymologies, only) in the neg. form; epithet of Buddha, or at least of perfected saints. In Pali often rendered calm, unperturbed, but it seems that free from evil (whether sin, pāpa, or misery, duḥkha) will suffice in all Pali and [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] occurrences. Regularly in lists of formulaic epithets which give little clue to a more precise meaning: Lalitavistara 358.5; Mahāvastu ii.397.16; iii.400.2 (same verse in Pali Sn 534 with anigha); 418.14; Udānavarga xxix.34; Gaṇḍavyūha 284.6.
[Sanskrit to German]
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.
