Anuvidiś (अनुविदिश्).—f. (blend of Sanskrit vidiś and Pali anudisā), supplementary direction, semi-cardinal point, = vidiś, in Bcṭ 328.11 (= Śikṣāsamuccaya 245.18, where text na tu vidiśam); in Śikṣāsamuccaya 252.15 text correctly nānuvidiśaṃ (acc. sg.); in these adhaḥ and ūrdhvam are separately mentioned, as in Aṣṭasāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā 481.18—19 mordhvaṃ mādho mā cānuvidiśam avalokayan gāḥ; but for this fact, Sukhāvatīvyūha 36.11 could easily be taken to prove that anu° means specifically the nadir and zenith, since, after the 4 cardinal points (°paścimottarāsu dikṣu), it follows with adha ūrdhvam anuvidikṣu. But the above passages show that adha ūrdhvam in Sukhāvatīvyūha must not be taken with anu°, which must apparently mean instead the semicardinal points (not otherwise mentioned here).

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.
