Pratikramati (प्रतिक्रमति).—abstains (from sin, abl.): mss. in Mahāvastu i.145.10 (verse) paruṣavacanāc ca naravara pratikramāmi tathaivaṃ paiśunyaṃ (read °yāt, or with Senart °yā, abl.); Senart em. to prativiramāmi, which to be sure seems to be intended by prativiremi of mss. in parallel i.202.7; but there is no need to em. i.145.10; the ppp. pratikrāntaḥ is evidently meant in a closely similar way in Mahāvyutpatti 2563, in a list of ‘synonyms for nisṛjā’, abstained, withdrawn (from evil).

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.
