Sātīyati (सातीयति).—text, or sādīyati, Kashgar recension (see below, and compare svādīyati), in Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 277.8 (prose), interests oneself in, shows attachment to, takes pleasure in: (na ca śrāmaṇeraṃ) na ca śrāmaṇerīṃ na bhikṣuṃ na bhikṣuṇīṃ na kumā- rakaṃ na kumārikāṃ °yati, na ca taiḥ sārdhaṃ saṃstavaṃ karoti; Tibetan mi sten, not adhere, be attached, to. Text and [Page590-b+ 71] [etymology] uncertain; sātīyati could be denom. from sāta = śāta, q.v.; sādīyati probably = Pali sādiyati, derived by Childers and [Pali Text Society’s Pali-English Dictionary] from root svād, compare svādīyati; both these forms could perhaps be caus. pass. of svād- as sug- gested [Pali Text Society’s Pali-English Dictionary], or svād° may (as I am inclined to guess) be only an unhistorical Sanskritization, the orig. being denom. sātīyati, with sādī° showing Prakritic d for t.

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.
