Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryPreṣeti (प्रेषेति) or Preṣayati.—(compare Sanskrit id., Pali peseti, sends), with cittaṃ, directs the thought (with dat., or loc., towards, see saṃpreṣayati): cittu preṣeti varāgrabodhaye Lalitavistara 179.6 (verse). Acc. to Senart, Mahāvastu i note 535, preṣayati would have this same meaning with ellipsis of cittaṃ in Mahāvastu i.202.14 = ii.6.11 (verse); and, I would add, surely the same form (preṣaya) should be read in the same line i.145.17, where all mss. omit the verb altogether but Senart by em. inserts prekṣasva, instead of preṣaya of the other passages. Senart's interpretation of preṣaya seems hardly necessary; it may mean order, direct, command; compare Pali Vin. ii.177.19 (ārāmikā) a-pesiyamānā (pass. pple.), not being directed, commanded; and Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 116.5.
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.
