Jambukāñcana (जम्बुकाञ्चन).—probably to be read, with two mss. in first passage, for jāmbu° in Lalitavistara 122.15 ekā kākini jāmbu-kāñcane bhavati upahatā, and 17 jām- būkāñcanasaṃnibhā punar bhavet sakara iya mahī (both verses); the meaning seems evidently gold from the Jambu river, and it is hard to believe that ā in the first syllable is anything but a corruption (if an adjectival form, it should be jāmbava; the ā of jāmbunada, jāmbū°, is justi- fied because that is derived from °nadī with suffix -a).

Jambukāñcana can also be spelled as Jambūkāñcana (जम्बूकाञ्चन).

context information

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.
