क्षमति (kSamati)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
kṣamati, oftener °te (in mgs. 2, 3 = Pali khamati),
(1) is worthy: LV 〔383.17〕 (vs) (sa bhājanaṃ …) pratigrahītuṃ kṣamate, na cānyaḥ
(2) is worth, with acc. mūlyaṃ price, or another word naming the price or value
so in Pali, Vin. 〔i.281.24〕 upaḍḍha-kāsinaṃ khamamāno, being worth half a thousand: Mv 〔iii.375.18〕 sarvāṃ kāśibhūmiṃ kṣamati, and 〔376.1〕 upārdha-kāśiṃ kṣamati, see s.v. kāśi, 2
mūlyaṃ kṣamate LV 〔63.19〕
SP 〔264.15〕
〔406.10〕 (all prose)
in the last, text imāṃ sahālokadhātuṃ mūlyena kṣamati, but read with most mss. mūlyaṃ kṣamate, is worth this whole sahā-world as a price
the other passages similarly
(3) impersonally, seems good, pleases: yathā te kṣamate, as seems good to you, as you think best, Divy 〔70.18〕
AsP 〔16.7〕
MSV 〔ii.74.11〕
sarvaṃ me bho Gautama na kṣamata iti Av 〔ii.187.10 (and ff.)〕
yam (= yad) vo kṣamati taṃ karotha Mv 〔i.311.10—11〕.
