Classical Tibetan
Classical Tibetan refers to the language of any text written in Tibetic after the Old Tibetan period. Though it extends from the 7th century until the modern day (along with Arabic, Ge'ez, and New Persian, it is one of the handful of 'living' classical languages), it particularly refers to the language of early canonical texts translated from other languages, especially Sanskrit. The phonology implied by Classical Tibetan orthography is very similar to the phonology of Old Tibetan, but the grammar varies greatly depending on period and geographic origin of the author. Such variation is an under-researched topic. In 816 AD, during the reign of King Sadnalegs, literary Tibetan underwent a thorough reform aimed at standardizing the language and vocabulary of the translations being made from Sanskrit, which was one of the main influences for literary standards in what is now called Classical Tibetan.

Sukha
''Sukha'' (Pali and ) means happiness, pleasure, ease, joy or bliss. Among the early scriptures, 'sukha' is set up as a contrast to 'preya' (प्रेय) meaning a transient pleasure, whereas the pleasure of 'sukha' has an authentic state of happiness within a being that is lasting. In the Pāli Canon, the term is used in the context of describing Laity, laic pursuits and Dhyāna in Buddhism, meditation. Etymology According to Monier-Williams (1964), the etymology of ''sukha'' is "said to be ''su'' ['good'] + ''kha'' ['aperture'] and to mean originally 'having a good axle-hole'"; thus, for instance, in the Rigveda, Rig Veda ''sukha'' denotes "running swiftly or easily" (applied, e.g., to chariots). Monier-Williams also notes that the term might derive alternatively as "possibly a Prakrit, Prākrit form of ''su-stha'', q.v.; cf. ''duh̩kha''", literally meaning ''su'' ['good'] + ''stha'' ['standing']. ''Sukha'' is juxtaposed with ''dukha'' (Sanskrit; Pali: ''dukkha''; often ...
