Utkṣipati (उत्क्षिपति).—(Sanskrit in meaning lifts up, etc.), (1) lets up in sense of permits to ascend, opp. nikṣipati: Lalitavistara 186.(12—)13f. ekaikasya ca prāsādasya sopānāni pañca-pañca puruṣa- śatāny utkṣipanti sma nikṣipanti sma (let go up and down); teṣāṃ tathotkṣipyamāṇānāṃ nikṣipyamāṇānāṃ ca śabdo 'rdhayojane śrūyate sma; (2) (= Pali ukkhipati) suspends (from the order of monks); ppp. utkṣipta: Bhikṣuṇī-karmavācanā 29b.1 utkṣiptānuvartaka (see anuvartaka); similarly Mahāvyutpatti 8480 utkṣiptānuvṛttiḥ, the following (cleaving to) a suspended (monk), so Tibetan spaṅs paḥi…; (3) averts (the senses, particularly the eyes, from forbidden objects): Divyāvadāna 278.29 indriyāṇy utkṣipati, and in the following lines; indriyāṇy utkṣipyāvasthitāḥ Mūla-Sarvāstivāda-Vinaya iii.18.11, stood averting their eyes (in embarrassment); in this sense = Pali (indriyāni) okkhipati from avakṣipati, see avakṣipta; apparently [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] utkṣ° is false Sanskrit for MIndic okkh°; according to Chin. (eyes not cast to one side), anutkṣiptacakṣuṣo [Prātimokṣasūtra des Sarvāstivādins] 529.10 would belong here; curiously the Pali equivalent, Vin. iv.186.29 okkhittacakkhu (note lack of negative!), appears to mean with downcast eyes, which the old commentary inter- prets by observing that it is a sin to enter a house or sit down looking around at this or that (tahaṃ tahaṃ olokento), so that okkhitta-, as opposite of this, would mean essen- tially the same as [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] an-utkṣipta- as interpreted by Chin. But for this evidence, an-utkṣipta-might be inter- preted, in accordance with Sanskrit usage, as not lifted up (thus in another way = okkhitta-).

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.
