Muṣṭisaṃbandha (मुष्टिसंबन्ध) or Muṣṭi-bandha.—m., a particular technique of grasping (the bow) with the fist (see s.v. muṣṭi); several times muṣṭi-b° is mentioned in a list of arts to be mastered by a prince: Mahāvyutpatti 4978; Lalitavistara 156.12; Divyāvadāna 100.12 and 442.7, along with pada-bandha or pāda°, and (in all but Divyāvadāna 100.12) also śikhā-bandha; in both Divyāvadāna passages these words are directly followed by dūra- vedha, which occurs not far away in Mahāvyutpatti (4991). That [Page436-a+ 71] a manner of wielding the bow is meant is suggested by the context in all, and proved by Mahāvastu ii.82.17 muṣṭisaṃ- bandho ca, yatra nāma vārāṇasyāṃ sthitena kāṇḍaṃ kṣiptaṃ. Tibetan on Mahāvyutpatti and Lalitavistara ḥdzin staṅs, grasping posture.

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.
