Vyupaśānta (व्युपशान्त).—adj. (= Pali vūpasanta; compare prec. two; orig. ppp. of Sanskrit vy-upa-śam-; not recorded in Sanskrit by [Boehtlingk and Roth], [Boehtlingk]), quieted, calmed, allayed, appeased: a-°taḥ Bodhisattvabhūmi 169.3, see s.v. vyupaśama; -duḥkhaṃ °tam abhūt Lalitavistara 86.13; duḥkhaṃ ca °taṃ Kāraṇḍavvūha 48.9; te kalahaṃ kṛtvā °tāḥ Divyāvadāna 171.9, when they were appeased after quarreling; in Lalitavistara 205.11 (prose) aho vatāhaṃ vyupaśāntasya (so both edd., no v.l., prose) lokasya tantrākulajātasya (so mss.; see under this for the rest of the passage) etc., it seems that the meaning requires a neg., of the world which is not tranquillized etc.; so Foucaux, qui n'est pas apaisé, tho he has no note and apparently accepted the reading of the ed.; his Tibetan ed. omits the passage. It seems to me that a-vyupa° must be read.

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.
