Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryRūḍhacīvara (रूढचीवर).—: [ [Prātimokṣasūtra des Sarvāstivādins] 492.3 (and 6) (ācchinnacīvaro) vā bhikṣuḥ syān naṣṭacīvaro vā dagdhacīvaro vā rūḍha- cīvaro vā (Finot prints vārūḍha°); Chin. ‘emporté par l'eau’; Pali Vin. iii.213.8 udakena vā vuḷhaṃ. This seems to prove that the [Prātimokṣasūtra des Sarvāstivādins] intended ūḍhacīvaro, altho the repetition in 492.6 has vā rūḍhacīvareṇa. Neither rūḍha- nor ārūḍha- seems to make any possible sense. We must either emend to vā ūḍha°, or understand vā-r-ūḍha° with hiatus-bridging r.]
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.
