Vipratyanīka (विप्रत्यनीक).—(vi-pratyanīka) (= Pali vipaccanīka; compare °nīya(ka), vipratyayanīya, and a-pratyanīya; [compound] of vi, intensive, and pratyanīka; the forms with -ya(ka) are semi-Pktic, partly no doubt assimilated to suffixal forms in -īya, § 2.32), antipathetic, opposed, hostile, unwelcome: Bodhisattvabhūmi 98.15 °ka-virodha, hostility between (creatures that are by nature mutually) antipathetic (like snakes and mongooses, cats and mice, as the text explains); 389.7 (parasparavirud- dheṣu…) anyonyadṛṣṭiruci-vipratyanīka-vādiṣu; Mahāvastu iii. 196.8 °kaṃ khalu devatānāṃ, contrary (to the ways of men), see Jātaka (Pali) iv.108.8 which makes clear the true form and meaning of the verse (not understood by Senart); in [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] commonly in [compound] sarvaloka-vi°, as epithet of dharma- (-paryāya), antipathetic (not acceptable, unwelcome) to the whole (ignorant) world, sometimes accompanied by parallel sarvalokāśraddheya (Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 290.12) or °kāśraddadhanīya (Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 230.7), not believable by…; with this usage compare in Pali Pugg. 20.13 (sahadhammike vuccamāne, when something in accord with [the Buddha's] dhamma is being said)… vipaccanīka-sātatā, taking delight in contradicting it: so Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 230.7; 290.12; Lalitavistara 89.21; 395.21; Mahāvastu iii.314.2, 16 (in both one ms. ends in °ya instead of °ka); Suvarṇabhāsottamasūtra 81.7; Aṣṭasāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā 305.3.

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.
