Sanskrit dictionary
Samudācarati (समुदाचरति).—(once ger. °cārya, as if from *°cāra-yati; = Pali °carati; note that even Sanskrit uses the noun samudācāra in the meaning address), addresses, speaks to (with acc., once seemingly gen., of person, and usually inst. of the words used): Lalitavistara 409.6 mā yūyaṃ bhikṣavas tathā- gatam āyuṣmadvādena samudācariṣṭa (mss. °ṣṭaḥ, °ṣṭe); Mahāvastu i.84.5 (verse) (tān eva dṛṣtva [mss. dṛṣṭa]…) ślakṣṇābhi vāgbhir…samudācaranti; iii.49.2 and 9 kumāra(ka)- vādena samudācaritavyaṃ manyati, thinks fit to address as ‘boy’; 182.(1—)2 (prose) (mā bhavanto āryasya upālisya) hīnajātyena samudācaratha (the gen. instead of acc. is curious; is it to be taken as dependent on hīnajātyena?); Divyāvadāna 169.21 svāgatavādena samudācaritas; 520.8 mūtra- purīṣavādena samudācaritā(ḥ); 526.(7—)8 (svāgatavāda- samudācāreṇa) tāṃ samudācārya (if not a misprint or error, implies ‘caus.’ °cārayati; or denom. to samudācāra, in the same sentence?) kathayati; Avadāna-śataka ii.44.8 bhikṣuṇyo dāsīvādena samudācīrṇāḥ; 132.10 āśīviṣavādena samudā- caritāḥ.
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.
