Praśaṭhatā (प्रशठता) or Praśaṭha.—(?) , uncertain; in Kāśyapa Parivarta 154.1 (prose) samyakprahāṇa-(see prahāṇa)-prasaṭhā (so divide) ri-(lacuna; Tibetan rdzu ḥphrul = ṛddhi-); Tibetan renders prasaṭhā by ḥgro ba, here doubtless entrance into…; the syllable ṭhā seems corrupt but I think of no attractive em. Dubious also is praśaṭhatā Mahāvyutpatti 2101 (both edd., no v.l.), which looks as if it meant trickery, deceitfulness (so [Boehtlingk] 7.362; compare AMg. pasaḍha, rogue, trickster); but Tibetan renders rnal du (into tranquillity) (ḥ)bab (entrance into) or ḥdug pa (state of), which suggests a form of śam (compare śamatha); Chin. according to Ting, elimination of differences among things, resulting in tranquillity (the last phrase not in Chin. here but cited from a parallel passage).

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.
