Englishmātāpitṛ, sg. or pl. (not otherwise noted in this sense), family, relatives, ‘home-folks’: (a king has granted a wish to a courtesan, his concubine
she replies) Mv 〔i.348.16—17〕 mahārāja yāvatā khu mātāpitaraṃ āpṛcchāmi tato devasya sakāśāto varaṃ yācayiṣyāmi. tāye mātāpitṝṇāṃ ārocitam. (〔18—349.1〕) tehi dāni yaṃ mataṃ so taṃ jalpati … tahiṃ aparā parivrājikā (2) paṇḍitā … sā āha: Jenti, tvaṃ vailāsikāye dhītā … It is obvious that a plurality of persons is meant here, and certainly not the ‘mother and father’ of Jentī. On this basis I think it likely that in LV 〔279.11〕 mātāpitṛsaṃjñino means regarding (each other) as members of the same family: (sarvasattvāś ca tasmin samaye maitracittā hitacittāḥ) parasparaṃ mātā° 'bhūvan. Cf. next.
