Sthitalapa (स्थितलप).—(v.l. sthita-raya), °pā (n.pl.), Mahāvastu i.134.10, of Bodhisattvas; followed by akāmakāmin, q.v. Senart sug- gests taking sthita as stopped, virtually = sthāpita, a meaning which is not recorded for it in Pali, and in Sanskrit is supported, if at all, by Ind. Spr. 6986 na sthitaḥ, you didn't stop. If this somewhat dubious suggestion is accepted, I would assume lapa, q.v., in the meaning of lapana, and render having abandoned boasting (in the sense of lapana). Other- wise Senart.

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.
