Pratyavasthāna (प्रत्यवस्थान).—nt. (compare AMg. paccavatthāṇa, ‘clearing of a doubt’; Māhārāṣṭrī id., refutation), in Mahāvyutpatti 6507 is defined in Tibetan and Chin. as (1) rejection; getting rid of (Tibetan phyir gzhil ba), or (2) arrangement, establishment (Tibetan so sor, severally, gzhag pa, arranging). Both mgs. are supported by forms or derivs. of Sanskrit praty-ava-sthā-, see [Boehtlingk]. The word has been noted elsewhere only in Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra, where it usually, and I think always, has the second meaning, establishment (of an intellectual truth or argument): tattva-pra°-kathā 77.7; pramāṇatrayāvayava-pra° 92.18; pra°-gati-svabhāva-93.11; siddhānta-pra° 172.6; svanaya- pra° 179.12 (°na-kathāṃ cintayan, thinking on a discourse for establishment of his own philosophic method; here only, Suzuki assumes meaning 1, rejection, but certainly wrongly); also svanaya-pra° 193.12; 230.14, 15; -jñānādhigama- pra° 194.18.

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.
