Abhyāyata (अभ्यायत).—[, adj. (error for atyāyata, which is read in other texts), in Mahāvastu ii.43.15 nābhyāyata-vacanā ca, one (No. 47) of the anuvyañjana (q.v.). For °vacana the orig. certainly had °vadana (so Mahāvyutpatti 314 etc., and Pali āyata-vadana, Burnouf, Lotus 589); yet other versions show the same substitution, and Lalitavistara 106.16 has a further rationalizing change, to be read with v.l. noccaśabdavacana (for Lefm. noccavacanaśabda). The orig. = with not too long face or the like.]

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.
