Besides the Pali parallel, D墨ghanik膩ya (Pali) commentary above, compare the 9 treasures of Kubera which include 艢a峁卥ha and Padma (with presiding personages of the same names), and among the Jains the 9 treasures of a cakra- vartin, which in their AMg. forms include pi峁僩ala, pa峁囜笉ua (= p膩峁囜笉uka), and sa峁僰ha; the Sanskrit forms of these are recorded at least lexically. Note also in Pali the n膩ga- king Erakapatta, of Dhammapada (Pali) commentary iii.231 ff., who however does not seem to be brought into relation to the 鈥榯reasure鈥� called in Pali ela (above); but the verses attributed to him, and the replies to them, in Dhammapada (Pali) commentary are reproduced in 惭补丑腻惫补蝉迟耻 iii.384, see above.

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.
