Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryPuṣṇāti (पुष्णाति).—(Sanskrit) used in Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra in a curious way which I find it hard to interpret; Suzuki omits the word in his translation(s): (people who fail to abandon false distinctions) vikalpayanti (discriminate, sc. falsely) puṣṇanti (? develop, i.e. expand, in worldly activity; the opposite of praśama) na praśamaṃ pratilabhante (do not attain tranquillity) Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra 21.2. Perhaps cetanāṃ, or a synonym, is to be supplied as object; compare Mūla-Sarvāstivāda-Vinaya ii.79.9—10 cetanaṃ puṣṇāti, develops or cherishes (the following) thought.
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.
