Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryPratihanyate (प्रतिहन्यते) or Pratihanyati.—(pass. of Sanskrit prati-han-), (1) is struck against (to Sanskrit prati-han-, rarely, [Boehtlingk and Roth] s.v.l): yatra …indriyāṇi °yante te viṣayā ity ucyante Śikṣāsamuccaya 251.12, the things against which the senses are struck (wrongly Bendall and Rouse) are called the sense-objects (compare prati- hanyanā); (2) is echoed, of sound: (mahārāvaṃ ravan- tānāṃ ca śabdo…) parvatehi °yante (so mss.) Mahāvastu i.6.2; (3) is reflected, of light: in Senart's text pratyahanyanti Mahāvastu i.6.9 ff., repeatedly, with most or all mss.; in i.7.9 pratyāhanyanti, with some mss., others pratya°; but in i.25.14 ff., in similar passage, all mss. repeatedly prati- hanyanti, which is probably what the passages all mean; compare § 32.8.
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.
