A Propos du mot indien sarṣapa, le Prof. J. Charpentier a émis l'opinion suivante “ … Wohl am ehesten nichtarisches Wort ”. Auparavant, le Prof. S. K. Chatterji avait déjà écrit: “ Skt. sarṣsapa ‗ Pkt. sāsava, which remains unexplained. But cf. Malay sĕsawi.(The Malay word may be a Prakrit borrowing ; but it is Skt., and not Pkt., which furnishes Aryan loans in Indonesian.) ”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
