Sahaśāyinī (सहशायिनी).—(compare Pali sahaseyya, recorded only as m., bedfellow of another monk), bedfellow (f.); so I believe we must read (rather than sahasopinī with Senart, and mss. at Mahāvastu iii.86.19 only), deriving from root śī; (pra)suptāye °nīye (mss. sahasāpinīye) Mahāvastu iii.82.13 and 15 (verses); saha- śāyinībhiḥ (mss. saha-sāy°) 87.12 (verse); °nīye (here mss. hopelessly corrupt) śayitāye iii.74.18.

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.
