础辫补谤腻苍迟补 (啶呧お啶班ぞ啶ㄠ啶�) is a name mentioned in the 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补 (cf. ) and represents one of the many proper names used for people and places. Note: The 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补 (mentioning 础辫补谤腻苍迟补) is a Sanskrit epic poem consisting of 100,000 艣濒辞办补蝉 (metrical verses) and is over 2000 years old.
The Purana (啶啶班ぞ啶�, pur膩峁嘺s) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India鈥檚 vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Ayurveda (science of life)
: archive.org: Vagbhata鈥檚 Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)础辫补谤腻苍迟补 (啶呧お啶班ぞ啶ㄠ啶�) is the name of a region whose waters (i.e., rivers) produce hemorrhoids, as mentioned in verse 5.11-12 of the 础峁ａ弓腻峁単补丑峁沝补测补蝉补峁僪颈迟腻 (S奴trasth膩na) by 痴腻驳产丑补峁璦.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淸...] (those) [rivers, viz., 苍补诲墨] rising with the Pr膩cyas, Avantis, and 础辫补谤腻苍迟补s [produce] hemorrhoids; (those) [rivers] coming from the Mahendra [produce] abdominal swellings, elephantiasis, and indisposition; [...]鈥�.
Note: The Pr膩cyas, Avantis, and 础辫补谤腻苍迟补s are either (according to the commentators) the peoples of Gaur, Malwa, and the Konkan or (according to Dowson, Dictionary s. vv.) the peoples east of the Ganges and those of Malwa and Malabar. [...] Going into details, Pr膩cya and 础辫补谤腻苍迟补 have been taken, not for the names of peoples (as is done by the scholiasts), but for such of lands, with anta joined to 辫谤腻肠测补 and apara alike.
膧yurveda (啶嗋く啷佮ぐ啷嵿さ啷囙う, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of 膧yurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesMentioned in a list of tribes. Ap.ii.359.
: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesOne of the countries to which Asoka sent missionaries after the Third Council. The leader of the mission was Yonaka Dhammarakkhitta (Mhv.xii.5; Dpv.viii.7). He preached to the people the Aggikkhandopama Sutta and 37,000 people embraced the new faith, a thousand men and even more women entering the Order (Mhv.xii.34-6; Sp.i.67).
The country comprises the territory of Northern Gujarat, Kathiawar, Kachch and Sindh. Fleet J.R.A.S. 1910, p.427; Bhandarkar in his Early History of Dekkan puts it in North Konkan (p.23); see also Burgess: Arch. Reports ii.131.
According to Hsouien Thsang, the country seems to comprise Sindh, Western Rajaputana, Cutch, Gujarat and a portion of the adjoining coast on the lower bank of the Narmada. Cunningham Anct. Geog. of India, notes, p.690; and Law: Early Geography 56ff.
Probably Buddhism was known in Aparanta during the time of the Buddha himself. Dutt: Early Hist. of Bsm. p.190; Dvy., pp.45ff; but the reference is to Sunaparanta.
It is said that when Mandhata brought all the four continents under his sway people from the three other continents came over to Jambudipa and lived there. When the king died they found themselves unable to get back, and begged his minister to allow them to start settlements in Jambudipa itself. He agreed, and the settlement of those who had come from Aparagoyana was for that reason called Aparanta (DA.ii.482; MA.i.184) (Aparantaka).
Therav膩da is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).

If they have a beginning, then there are new beings, and the dharmas also arise without cause or condition. If they do not have a beginning (辫奴谤惫腻苍迟补), neither do they have an end (补辫补谤腻苍迟补), they have neither end nor middle (尘补诲丑测腻苍迟补). Or else not having a beginning means having a middle and having an end; not having an end means having a beginning and a middle; not having a middle means having a beginning and an end. [...]鈥�.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), 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.
