Sanskrit dictionary
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryRiñcati (रिञ्चति).—(Pali id., Sanskrit riṇakti), leaves, empties, in special sense, with object buddhakṣetra; gods address pratyekabuddhas when the Bodhisattva is about to descend to earth for his last incarnation: riñcatha buddha- kṣetraṃ Mahāvastu i.197.1, 4; 357.4, 6; riñcata mārṣā buddha- kṣetraṃ Lalitavistara 18.12; empty the buddha-field, sc. by entering nirvāṇa, so that there will be no Buddha (not even a Pratyeka-b.) in the ‘field’ when the Bodhisattva enters it. (The meaning neglects, ignores, seems supported in Sanskrit tho perhaps commoner in Pali, and in [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit]: Rāṣṭrapālaparipṛcchā 34.12 [read riñcitvā]; Bodhisattvabhūmi 396.20; Aṣṭasāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā 243.6.)
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.
