1) n. (sc. vrata) Bez. einer Kasteiung, bei der man den Mondlauf zur Richtschnur nimmt, indem man beim zunehmenden Monde jeden Tag einen Bissen mehr, beim abnehmenden einen Bissen weniger zu sich nimmt. Beginnt eine solche Kasteiung mit dem Vollmondstage, so dass die Zahl der Bissen sich zuerst von 15 bis 0 vermindert, dann aber in umgekehrter Ordnung wieder zunimmt, so heisst dieselbe pipīlikāmadhya (weil bei der Ameise der Körper sich vom After und Kopf nach der Mitte hin stets verdünnt); beginnt die Kasteiung dagegen mit dem Neumonde, so dass die Zahl der Bissen zuerst von [0 bis 15] zunimmt, dann aber in umgekehrter Ordnung wieder sich vermindert, so erhält dieselbe den Namen yavamadhya oder yavamadhyama (weil das Gerstenkorn von der Mitte aus nach beiden Enden allmählig dünner wird).

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.
