Pratipadyati (प्रतिपद्यति).—(Pali paṭipajjati seems so used, but hardly Sanskrit; compare pratipatti, °pad, °panna), behaves, with instr. of manner: yan nv aham alpāhāratayā pratipadyeyam Lalitavistara 254.2 (prose), suppose now I behave with (practise according to the method of) taking scant food. This seems the most probable interpretation; otherwise Tibetan, which ren- ders the instr. -tayā by la, as if dative, and then has nan tan bya ḥo, I shall make earnest effort to eat scant food; I can hardly believe this is what the text means.

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.
