Samayavimukta (समयविमुक्त).—adj. (= Pali °vimutta), released temporarily, occasionally, from time to time: Mahāvyutpatti 1025 (opp. to asamaya-vimukta, q.v.). Pali also has nouns (a)samaya-vimutti, °vimo(k)kha. See Puggalap. p. 11 (§§ 1, 2); Majjhimanikāya (Pali) commentary ii.232.3 ff. (on Majjhimanikāya (Pali) i.197.27). There are eight states of ‘temporary release’, viz. the four dhyāna (or rūpāvacara-samāpatti), the four arūp(āvacar)- asamāpatti (so Majjhimanikāya (Pali) commentary). See also Abhidharmakośa LaV-P vi.251—2. ([Pali Text Society’s Pali-English Dictionary] mistranslates the Pali.)

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.
