Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryNiyanti (नियन्ति).—nom. °tiḥ, addiction to, absorption in, so read with v.l. Mahāvyutpatti 5383 for (kāma-)niyantrī, text; Mironov niyanti (so!); = niyati, q.v.; the Japanese definition (for kāma-niyantrī) means one who pursues pleasure; Bhikṣuṇī-karmavācanā 24a.3 kāmaniyantiḥ, without v.l., confirming the form and meaning; occurs in a list of synonyms, kāma-snehaḥ, -premaḥ, kāmālayaḥ, kāmaniyantiḥ, kāmādhyavasānam. The Tibetan on Mahāvyutpatti 5383 is confused and contains, after ḥdod pa la, for lusts (kāma-), either ḥtsuṅs pa or ḥchums pa; the latter is probably correct and means wishing, longing for (see Jäschke (Tibetan-English Dictionary) and [Tibetan-English Dictionary], the latter s.v. ḥchum pa).
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.
