(-taḥ-tā-tam) One towards whom the sun has set (scil. while he is asleep), asleep at sunset; e. g. Gotama: sūryābhyudito brahmacārī tiṣṭhedaharabhuñjanobhyastamitaśca rātriṃ japaṃsāvitrīm (where the ellipsis ‘when asleep’ follows from the word svapna in the preceeding passage: retaskandane bhaye roge svapnegnīndhanabhaikṣacaraṇāni saptarātraṃ kṛtvājyahomaḥ sābhisandhervā retasyābhyām).—This is the reading acc. to both Calc. edd. of Kullūka to Manu 2. 220; the Calc. ed. of Gotama's Sanh. (made by Bhavanīcharanavandya, as he says, bahuprayatnataḥ) has, however, sūryābhyudite …(a)bhyastamite ca…, when it would be necessary to take sūº as equivalent to sūryābhyudaya and abhyaº as expressing the sense of abhyastamaya, both words being then locatives of a neuter ºtam. But Kullūka's reading seems better as being countenanced by analogous expressions in Manu 2. 221. Comp. abhinirmukta and abhyudita. E. abhi and astamita (not abhyastam and ita, for abhi refers to the person or act concerned by the sunset; similarly in ved. passages which contain the combination abhyastamagāt or abhyastamiyāt, the rad. gā or i are combined first with astam and then with abhi, not with abhyastam); see also the preceding.
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.
