Praṇamati (प्रणमति).—(?), praṇamayati (compare Sanskrit id.), (1) ger. praṇamayya, saluting (in non-caus. meaning): Bhagavantaṃ Divyāvadāna 463.22; but Mūla-Sarvāstivāda-Vinaya i.71.16, same passage, añjaliṃ praṇamya; (2) añjaliṃ praṇamya, making an añjali: Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 60.2 (prose; so all mss., ed. em. praṇāmya); and so all Nepalese mss. and WT, Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 100.5 (prose), KN with Kashgar recension praṇāmayitvā; añjaliṃ praṇamayya Avadāna-śataka i.347.4; ii.3.9. Is praṇamya ger. of praṇamati, or of praṇamayati? See praṇāmayati, which like Pali paṇāmeti is so used with añjaliṃ; is the literal meaning bends, or rather extends, holds out?

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.
