[«previous next»] — Udyuthika in Sanskrit glossary

Udyūthikā (उद्यूथिका).—f. subst. (adj.?), (compare Pali uyyodhika, Vin. iv.107.26, old commentary = yattha saṃpahāro dissati, the correspondent of our word, which seems to have been Sktized by association with yūtha, probably unhistorically; root yudh is doubtless the true source; but meaning is rather obscure, see Childers, who guesses sham fight), perhaps some sort of military exercise, such as sham battle; in Mahāvyutpatti 8470 °kā-gamanam = Tibetan gyul bśams pa ḥkhrug tu (ḥgro ba), (going to) an army prepared for battle? or a battle-prepared combat (i.e. a military maneuver)?; in [Prātimokṣasūtra des Sarvāstivādins] 512.6 seemingly adj. with senā, udyūthikāṃ senāṃ darśanāya (Chin. regarder les manœuvres, Finot); in accord with this possibly udyūthikā in Mahāvyutpatti may imply senā, meaning (an army) ready for military operations (?).

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.
