Vṛṣabhitā (वृषभिता).—(vṛṣabhi-tā) (to next, plus -tā; compare ātma-vṛṣ°), = prec.; mss., especially Kashgar recension of Saddharmapuṇḍarīka, sometimes present a nt. vṛṣabhita, which is however never well supported [Page507-b+ 71] and surely only a corruption; Bendall even emends Śiks ms. °tā to °ta, referring to Mahāvastu ii.277.8, but this is a [bahuvrīhi] adj., so that stem in -ta is normal (Māra speaks and refers to himself as mahā-vṛṣabhitaṃ, acc. sg., having great majesty, parallel with mahāpratāpaṃ, mahāvikramaṃ); otherwise all unambiguous passages show always °tā, at least in some mss.; usually a quality of a Buddha: siṃha- vṛṣabhitābhigarjitanirghoṣasvara Lalitavistara 435.15 (of Buddha); (saṃprakāśayati) tathāgata-°tāṃ (so v.l., text °taṃ) Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 308.5; tathāgatena tathāgata-°bhitā tathāgataparākramaḥ kṛtaḥ 311.5; sarvabuddha-°bhitā 391.3; (buddha-) °bhitā- sukhena Śikṣāsamuccaya 214.1 (ms.), by the bliss of the majesty of a Buddha; buddha-°tām Aṣṭasāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā 432.10; very common in Gaṇḍavyūha, e.g. (tathāgatadharmacakrapravartana-)-vikurvita-°bhi- tām 6.2 (compare Daśabhūmikasūtra 73.16 under prec.); acintyaṃ tathāgata- buddha-°bhitādhiṣṭhānam 7.22; buddhavyūhān buddha- °bhitāṃ (so read with 2d ed. for 1st ed. °tān) 17.24; na sā °bhitā 19.7; acintyāṃ buddha-°bhitāṃ 21.1, etc.

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.
