अमात्यप्रेक्षित (amAtyaprekSita)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
amātya-prekṣita, Mv 〔ii.1.9〕 (mss.), or amātyāvekṣita, LV 〔23.20〕, watched (guarded) by ministers, nt. adj., epithet of the family in which the Bodhisattva is to be born
to be taken closely with foll. phrase, Mv taṃ kulaṃ bhogāṃ bhuṃjati, LV tat kulaṃ bhavati bhogān paribhunakti, it eats its meals (or, enjoys its wealth) under the guardianship of ministers
so Tib. blon pos blta zhiṅ loṅs spyod la spyod pa yin. In Mv the mss. have °preṣitaṃ, which Senart emends rightly
but he also, wrongly, em. amānya for amātya. The parallel Mv 〔i.197.19〕 is different and doubtless corrupt.
