Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryKṣīyati (क्षीयति).—(?) (= Pali khīyati), is vexed; so Senart at Mahāvastu ii.480.2, 4; text in 2 (sā…) tāsām antaḥpurikānāṃ ruṣyati kṣīyati (but v.l. kṣipati) paribhāṣati, in 4 kiṃ tuvaṃ asmākaṃ ruṣyasi kṣīyasi (but both mss. kṣipasi or °pesi) paribhāṣasi (mss. °ṣesi). Since one ms. in 2, and both in 4, have forms of kṣip, which in normal Sanskrit means scold, revile, it seems at least likely that we should read kṣipati, °si.See, however, s.vv. vivācayati, dhriyati.
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.
