Atitti (अतित्ति).—(-ga-) ? (= Pali id., Sanskrit atṛpti); assumed by Senart at Mahāvastu i.133.12 (prose) atittigāś (no ms. reads quite so, yet the variants seem indeed to tend in this direction), ils ne tendent pas à la satisfaction de leurs sens, ils ne sont pas esclaves de leurs sens. It seems to me, however, that the general use of derivatives of tṛp would suggest just the opposite meaning, which would not fit here (epithet of Bodhi- sattvas): they never reach satiety.

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.
