Parisaṃsthita (परिसंस्थित).—(?) (ppp. of pari-saṃ-sthā, of which no other form seems to be recorded except the caus., see prec., and Pali parisaṃṭhāti, in a very different meaning; °sthita occurs once in Mahābhārata Crit. ed. 1.114.59 in meaning standing round about, of attendant deities; AMg. pari- saṃṭhiya, well-established, [Ardha-Māgadhī Dictionary]), established: (iyaṃ sarvāvatī lokadhātū…) apagatanadīmahānadī parisaṃ- sthitā Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 244.12 (prose; ed. fails to separate from the prec. word). But perhaps the caus. parisaṃsthāpitā (see prec.) should be read with WT; no ms. is reported with it but some mss. have caus. forms, and the parallel 246.7 looks in this direction.

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.
