Abhūmi (अभूमि).—(a-bhūmi) (?) , adj. (or read or understand a-bhūmyam, neg. of bhūmya, q.v.?), non-terrestrial, i.e. celestial, supernal: Mahāvastu i.72.9 (verse) vartayiṣyi varacakram abhūmi, I shall start turning the celestial excellent wheel (of the Law). So one ms.; the rest abhūṣi (which makes no sense); Senart em. adbhutaṃ, which is violent, and metrically impossible. [Pali Text Society’s Pali-English Dictionary] alleges a Pali abhumma, groundless, unfounded, unsubstantial, Jāt v.178.11; vi.495.23; but Critical Pali Dictionary rejects this word and reads abhuṃ me in both passages.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), 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.
