Sapratīśa (सप्रतीश).—(sa-pratīśa) or °sa, adj. (see s.v. a-pratīśa; = Pali sappaṭissa, °tissa), respectful: spelled with ś, Mahāvyutpatti 1776; Mahāvastu iii.372.5; Divyāvadāna 333.16, 26; Śikṣāsamuccaya 189.10; Kāśyapa Parivarta 10.6; °śa-tā, state of being…, Bhikṣuṇī-karmavācanā 31b.5; with s, Mahāvastu i.174.3; ii.287.6; Lalitavistara 102.21, text su-pra°, read with v.l. sa-pra°; Divyāvadāna 484.15, 20 (mss. s, ed. em. ś); (Ārya-)Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa 491.15; mss. vary, ś or s, Mahāvastu ii.258.9; iii.345.18; Divyāvadāna 484.25; in Mahāvastu ii.200.19 Senart by em. sapatissa-, but with not even remote or partial support in mss., and resulting in incor- rect meter; in Lalitavistara 160.10 Lefm. sa-pratīkṣāḥ (which would accord with Senart's conjecture as to the etymology, see s.v. apratīśa), but no ms. supports the reading; they point rather to sapratīśāḥ, tho most are confused. Usually preceded by sa-gaurava (°gārava).

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.
