Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryPrasavāyitā (प्रसवायिता).—(so mss.; could be denom. ppp. to Sanskrit prasava), delivered (of a child): tayā (by her, the mid- wife) sā °tā Divyāvadāna 484.8 (ed. em. prasavāpitā, ppp. of MIndic caus. to Sanskrit prasavati, bears); the reading of the mss., and my interpretation, seem supported by the close parallel tayā prasavitā 485.12, by her she was delivered, where the form in °tā can at any rate not be caus., and seems likely to be denom. from prasava (rather than a MIndic ppp. to prasavati, = Sanskrit prasūtā).
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.
