Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionarySamādhyāyikatā (समाध्यायिकता).—(samādhyāyika-tā), said to mean acquisition or pos- session of samādhi (so Foucaux; Burnouf, Lotus, 798; and app. Tibetan tiṅ ṅe ḥdzin sgrub par): Lalitavistara 34.6 (prose) prītisaṃ- bodhyaṅgaṃ dharmālokamukhaṃ °katāyai saṃvartate. So both edd., no v.l. But I do not understand the formation; if a [compound], the second member *āyika(-tā) does not seem plausible (leading to, as if from ā plus root i?); nor can I make a plausible analysis by assuming suffixation, starting with samādhi; perhaps primary formation from Sanskrit samādhyāyati, instead of °dhyāyaka-, state of one that completely concentrates?
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.
