Pravādī (प्रवादी).—(?) , f., n. sg. °di m.c., disputation, argument: śūnyā pravādi iha īdṛśa-dharma-yoge (so, one word) Lalitavistara 420.20 (verse), empty (vain) is discussion regarding this applica- tion to such a kind of doctrine (of heretics, mentioned in prec. line). So Tibetan seems clearly to understand: chos sbyor ḥdi ḥdra ḥdi la rab tu rtsod pa stoṅ, which definitely opposes taking pravādi as loc. for °de; this construction would in any case be difficult, since śūnyā could then not agree with this word (as Tibetan makes it and as natural interpretation requires); to take śūnyā with bhūmir in prec. line would be forced. No v.l. is recorded for pravādi (Calcutta (see LV.) with some mss. reads śūnya-); perhaps it should be em. to °da (n. sg., for °daḥ).

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.
