Vipācayati (विपाचयति).—reading of Mironov for vivācayati, q.v.: Mahāvyutpatti 9360.

--- OR ---

Vipācayati (विपाचयति) or Vivācayati.—(?) (= Pali vipāceti), grum- bles, makes disapproving remarks: °yanti Mahāvyutpatti 2643 (= Tibetan kha zer ba, according to [Tibetan-English Dictionary] = mukhara, loquacious, but Lex. also abusive); Divyāvadāna 492.17; Mūla-Sarvāstivāda-Vinaya i.44.16; 236.13; °yati Mahāvyutpatti 9360, but here Mironov vipācayati (= Pali), and Tibetan rnam par smod pa, speaks abusively; always the third of a series of near-synonyms, avadhyāyati (Sanskrit) and kṣipati (Sanskrit; in Divyāvadāna dhriyati, in Mahāvastu perhaps kṣīyati, q.v., in a similar context) being the others; in Pali, ujjhāy- ati khīyati vipāceti. Orig. form not clear; if it was vipāc°, what [etymology]? Yet vivāc° looks like a lect. fac., and is not really a natural form (caus. to vi-vac-?); the occurrence of vipāc- in Mironov also makes one doubtful. Perhaps vipācayati was a bit of ancient slang: gets (one) cooked = reviles.

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.
