Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionarySaṃgrahavastu (संग्रहवस्तु).—nt. (= Pali saṃgahavatthu), article of attraction, means by which a Buddha or (more often in [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit]) a Bodhisattva attracts, draws to himself and to religious life, creatures. The literal meaning has been much disputed; it seems to me clarified by Lalitavistara 429.13 where reference is made to the Buddha's cleverness in drawing-in creatures (sattvasaṃgrahakauśalyaṃ) by the net (-jālena) of the 4 saṃgrahavastu; with this compare Gaṇḍavyūha 495.20, cited s.v. saṃgraha. As in Pali, there are four of these: dāna, priya-vacana (or the like), artha-caryā (or -kriyā), and samānārthatā (or samānasukhaduḥkhatā), qq.v.; they are listed Lalitavistara 38.16—17; 160.6—7; 182.6; 429.12—13; Mahāvastu i.3.11—12; ii.395.8—9 (without use of the term saṃgraha-vastu); Mahāvyutpatti 924—928; Dharmasaṃgraha 19; Bodhisattvabhūmi 217.2—230.19, the inclusive term 227.5; 230.19; without lists of the 4 items, Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 259.5; Lalitavistara 35.9; 437.15; Mahāvyutpatti 793; Divyāvadāna 95.15; 264.29; Śikṣāsamuccaya 50.11; Avadāna-śataka i.16.12; Gaṇḍavyūha 495.17 (in most of these the number four is specified). Sometimes replaced by saṃgraha, q.v., alone.

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.
