Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryRocanapiśācakā (रोचनपिशाचका).—v.l. °piśācanakā (nom. pl.; Sen. em. °piśācikā), some sort of product of the art of the śaṅkha-valaya-kāra; the adjoining words in Mahāvastu ii.473.11 suggest that it is a small article made of ivory, perhaps for holding unguents or the like (and made in the shape of a piśācī? so Senart suggests).
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.
