Vikurvā (विकुर्वा) or Vikurvī.—(which perhaps read, with two mss., but see § 11.3), miracle: bahu tubhyaṃ śīlavikurvī Lalitavistara 168.10 (verse; closely parallel with 169.4, 8, vikurvā; this is against understanding a voc. of *vikurvin, which is not plausible otherwise).

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.
