Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryVicitrika (विचित्रिक).—adj. (Sanskrit vicitra plus -ika), various, of all sorts: sarvaloka-°trikeṣv anabhiratiḥ Kāśyapa Parivarta 25.4 (prose), not taking pleasure in all sorts of worldly things (here quasi- subst.; Tibetan sna tshogs, of various sorts); °trikā vṛścika (n. pl. m.) mūṣikāś ca Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 83.8 (verse), all sorts of scorpions and mice.
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.
