Pratibhajati (प्रतिभजति) or Pratibhajate.—(1) (once recorded from Mbh 12 in [Boehtlingk] but considered error for pravibhajati; however, Pali paṭibhajitvā Majjhimanikāya (Pali) iii.91.5, and [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit], suggest that Sanskrit prati° may be genuine) divides, gives a share in: amṛtaṃ pratibhajamānaṃ Mahāvastu ii.42.8, (the Buddha) when he is sharing out amṛta (to the people); (dharmade- śanāṃ…) matyā pratibhajāmi Gaṇḍavyūha 207.5, but in repe- titions of the same phrase lines 11, 26, pravibhajāmi; (2) (compare Pali paṭibh°, divides) distiṇguishes, makes distinc- tions in: Bodhisattvabhūmi 401.12 pratipadaṃ…°ti, iyaṃ pratipat saṃkleśāyeyaṃ vyavadānāya…; ppp. pratibhakta, sev- eral, separate, nakṣatreṣu °kteṣu Divyāvadāna 642.17.

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.
