Pratyanuyukta (प्रत्यनुयुक्त).—adj. or subst. m. (compare next), in Mahāvyutpatti 7664, opp. of anuyukta 7665, Tibetan respectively phyir (= back, in return) brgal, and brgal ba; this may be derived from rgal ba, cross(ed) over (e.g. a river); so Chin. interprets, and also praty-anu° crossed back; but jä. also allows brgal to be connected with rgol ba, contend with, attack, and states that phyir rgol ba refers to defense against attacks; derivatives of these two are used of plaintiff and defendant in lawsuits, and of disputants in academic arguments. In this latter sense Japanese interprets pratya- nuyuktaḥ Mahāvyutpatti 7664, and this seems likely to be right; anuyukta then probably examined, questioned (ppp. of Pali anuyuñjati, b in Critical Pali Dictionary), and praty-anu° counter-questioned, cross-examined.

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.
