Samiya (समिय).—(°-), according to Senart MIndic for samyak-; perfectly: sarvaśaḥ samiya-mārdavānvitā Mahāvastu i.64.5 (verse); mss. unmetrical(ly) samīyā-. But the word may represent AMg. samiyā- (Sanskrit *śami-tā), tranquillity, which accords well with mārdava-; or a Prakrit form (AMg. samiya) of Sanskrit śamita, Pali samita, calm, as separate word (pl.; in either case final a m.c. for ā, as in Senart's interpretation).

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.
