Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryDukha (दुख).—(as in Pali, see Childers), dukhin, and dukhita, m.c. in verses for duḥkha, °khin, °khita, misery; miserable. The mss. and edd. are quite inconsistent, but write dukha very often, at least, where meter requires it; so Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 54.10; 162.2 (in 92.6 ed. dukha-, according to note with only one ms.); Lalitavistara 173.11 (no v.l.); 220.22 (dukhī, v.l. duḥ°); in Lalitavistara 252.10 Lefm. properly em. dukhitaṃ against all mss., but in 188.12 he allows the equally unmetrical(ly) suduḥkhito to stand; Senart on Mahāvastu i.9.17 keeps duḥkhā of mss., noting that meter implies a short penult; so also i.14.16, 15.13, and often, usually not em. by Senart; dukha is rather common in verses of Samādhirājasūtra, e.g. 19.20; also in Gaṇḍavyūha, dukha 301.22; 488.9; dukhitām 474.23; dukha (v.l. duḥ°) Bhadracarī 21; etc. In my opinion dukh° should always be read where meter indicates short first syllable.
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.
