Anabhisaṃskṛta (अनभिसंस्कृत) refers to “(that which is) unconditioned” (i.e., the sky), according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “When this had been said, the Lord said to the Bodhisattva, the great being Gaganagañja: ‘[...] Just as the sky is unconditioned (anabhisaṃskṛta), the same way, [the Bodhisattva] gives a gift without conditions. Just as the sky is beyond ideation, the same way, [the Bodhisattva] gives a gift with no basis in consciousness. Just as the sky is spread on all Buddha-fields, the same way, [the bodhisatva] gives a gift in order to pervade all living beings with friendliness. [...]’”.

Anabhisaṃskṛta (अनभिसंस्कृत).—(an-abhisaṃskṛta) (neg. of abhi°, q.v.; Pali °saṃ-khata, see below), not (specially) prepared, of food: Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra 196.12, said or rice offered to infants without proper boiling (and seasoning?); not affected (by some outside influence), avikopitair indriyair anabhisaṃskṛtair gātrair Lalitavistara 323.16, in description of the Bodhisattva's indifference to the daughters of Māra, with senses undisturbed, with body-members unaffected. So Tibetan, lus (body) ma bcos pa, lit. not made (up), see Jäschke (Tibetan-English Dictionary) s.v. bcos-pa, ‘3. made or contrived by art, artificial (so Pali abhisaṃkhata is some- times used, Critical Pali Dictionary)…ma bcos, artless, unaffected, genuine; it also seems to denote an absence of mental activity (see s.v. abhisaṃskāra) or a forbearance of exercising such activity, in short that indifference to the world, which is so highly valued by the Buddhist.’

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.
