The meaning sinking, as adj., which fits Sanskrit pra-skand-fairly well, would fit both the 厂补诲诲丑补谤尘补辫耻峁囜笉补谤墨办补 passage and the Lalitavistara-骋补峁囜笉补惫测奴丑补 parallel passages, of creatures sinking (entered would also be possible) in the thicket of heresy.

Praskandha (啶啶班じ啷嵿啶ㄠ啶�).鈥攕ee 掳nda.
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.
