Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryKālāpadeśa (कालापदेश).—m. (see apadeśa), according to Tibetan cited by Wogihara ‘black doctrine’, nag-po bstan pa; but this can hardly be right; perhaps ‘timely expression’; something which a Bodhisattva must know, along with mahāpadeśa (of which the precise meaning is also unknown; Tibetan renders literally): Bodhisattvabhūmi 108.10—11 °śa-mahāpadeśāṃś ca yathābhū- taṃ prajānāti; 257.2 °śaṃ ca mahāpadeśaṃ ca yathā° praj°; 108.25 °śa-mahāpadeśa-kuśalo bodhisattvaḥ.
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.
