Pravijṛmbhitā (प्रविजृम्भिता).—ppp. f. (to Sanskrit pra-vi-jṛmbh-, once in [Boehtlingk] in somewhat different meaning), spreading out (her legs), of a woman in childbirth: (sā, i.e. Māyā, in bearing the Bodhisattva) °tā salīlaṃ (or °lā) Mahāvastu i.149.16 (here Senart keeps pratijṛ° with mss.) = 217.17 = ii.19.18 (verse; in the two last Senart pravi°, which is suggested by readings of mss. ii.19.18 and should certainly be read each time); compare Lalitavistara 83.5 (prose) vijṛmbhamānā sthitābhūt, which means the same; wrongly Senart's note Mahāvastu i.495.
