Bāhayati (बाहयति) or Bāheti.—(commonly written vāh°, compare also paribāhya, written °vāhya; certainly identical with Pali bāheti, which seems to be a caus.-denom. to bahi = Sanskrit bahis, rather than caus. to Sanskrit vah-, compare Senart, Mahāvastu i n. 431), casts off, expels, puts aside: ger., puṇyaṃ ca pāpaṃ ca vāhetvā Udānavarga xi.12 = Pali Dhammapada (Pali) 267, bāhetvā; otherwise only ppp. bāhita-(vāh°) in composition with pāpa, as often in Pali: bāhita-pāpa, of Buddha or his saints (mss. corrupt in some places; vāh° often for bāh°) Mahāvastu i.305.22; 306.6; iii.64.12, 13; Mahāvyutpatti 2554; °pāpa-tvāt Lalitavistara 424.16; °pāpa-karmāṇaṃ Lalitavistara 353.14; °pāpa-dharma, standard epithet of Buddha, Mahāvastu iii.64.14; 325.6; Mahāvyutpatti 420; Lalitavistara 426.15 (so v.l., Lefm. °pāra-). (Note that bāhitaka, or vāh°, is also written for bāhiraka, q.v., as epithet of mārga, but I believe wrongly; °raka must be read.)

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.
