Sahāpati (सहापति).—(also sahaṃ°, sahāṃ°, and sabhāpati, qq.v.; = Pali sahaṃpati; compare sahā, 2 saha), lord of the sahā (or saha) lokadhātu, epithet of Brahman, m., and almost invariably accompanied by a form of that word; in most texts sahāṃ° seems commoner, yet it may be only a false Sanskritization of Pali sahaṃ°, which could represent an orig. sahā- by the ‘law of morae’; in the mss. of Lalitavistara, Divyāvadāna, and some other works, sahā° predominates: Lalitavistara 44.11; 61.5; 63.1; 69.16; 70.1; 83.13; 274.18 (in some of these v.l. sahāṃ°); in 73.8; 130.20 most mss. sahāṃ°, but Lefm. sahā°; perhaps Mahāvastu ii.63.11 (so one ms., Senart sahāṃ°, which the other ms. probably intends); Divyāvadāna 613.30; 652.13, 17; 655.6 (in the last three ed. sahāṃ°, against mss.); Avadāna-śataka (Speyer always reads sahāṃ°; ms. sahā° in) i.305.14 f.; 311.17 f.; 317.15 (in prec. line sahāṃ°); 329.5 f.; 337.7 f.; 343.1 (in 2 sahāṃ°); ii.198.11; Suvarṇabhāsottamasūtra 84.12 and 91.14 (all mss., both times; Nobel em. sahāṃ°); Bodhisattvabhūmi 75.4; 295.6.
