Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryAsaṃvidita (असंविदित).—perhaps unperceived, not consciously grasped: in Mahāvastu i.41.5 and iii.334.8 (both somewhat corrupt, probably intending) asaṃviditā asaṃviditapūrvā (lokāntarikā, sc. nirayā or narakā); in Mahāvastu ii.162.10 Senart also reads asaṃviditapūrvā, mss. (aghā)-saṃvidhipūrvā. The three other Mahāvastu versions of this formulaic passage have (aghā) aghasaṃbhūtapūrvā, or (aghā) asaṃbhūtā asaṃbhūtapūrvā. All these are corruptions of an original probably to be reconstructed as aghā aghasaṃvṛtā; the Pali has aghā asaṃvutā (brilliantly corrected by Senart, Mahāvastu i n. 405—6, to aghā aghasaṃvutā); Lalitavistara and Śatasāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā aghā aghasphuṭā (full of misery, substantially = aghasaṃvṛtā enwrapped in misery). See discussion of the passage s.v. lokāntarikā.
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.
