Upalabhyate (उपलभ्यते) or Upalabhyati.—(in meaning 1 = Pali upalabbhati, pass. of upa-labh, much commoner than the act.): (1) is found, occurs, like Sanskrit vidyate. This meaning seems probable in Kāśyapa Parivarta 98.1, where for corrupt text read probably nobhayayor antarāle upalabhyate, or perhaps with the quotation Śikṣāsamuccaya 234.2 nobhayam antareṇopa°; and Kāśyapa Parivarta 102.1—2 yan na labhyate tan nopalabhyate, what is not found, does not occur (exist?); it must however be noted that Tibetan renders mi dmigs pa, is not conceived mentally, fancied (see under upalambha); (2) is upbraided, reproached: Mahāvastu iii.291.16 °yati; 295.13 °yamāno; no v.l., but as Senart notes, this is the regular meaning of Sanskrit upālabhyate; perhaps read upā°, but note the curious fact that [Tibetan-English Dictionary] cites a Tibetan dmigs paḥi (regularly = upa-labh and derivatives!) smra (speech), defined by execration, revilling (apavāda)!

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.
