Niṣpadi (निष्पदि).—(m.c. for °dī ? = niṣpad, and Sanskrit niṣpatti; [Paia-sadda-mahaṇṇavo] cites a Prakrit ṇippaddi [!possibly read ṇippadi?] by the side of ṇippatti and ṇipphatti), production, attain- ment, accomplishment: tasya mi niṣpadi bheṣyati adya Lalitavistara 287.8, 10 = Tibetan de ni de riṅ ṅa la ḥgrub par ḥgyur, that today for me at accomplishment arrives. It seems that niṣpadi must be a nom. sg.; this seems confirmed by 287.6 where Lefm. prints the same reading, but Tibetan has thob par, obtaining, getting, = prāpti, instead of ḥgrub [Page309-a+ 71] par = niṣpadi, thus confirming the v.l. of the best mss. prāpti bhaviṣyati instead of niṣpadi bheṣyati; it would be very forced, in view of n. sg. prāpti (and for other reasons), to see anything but a n. sg. in niṣpadi.

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.
