1 cetayati (Skt. caus. of cit, not in this mg.
= Pali ceteti), longs for (dat.): saṃghasya ca alābhāya apadāya °yati MSV 〔iii.8.14〕.
2 cetayati (the verb on which is based Pali caus. cetāpeti, below), buys: cetayitvā, ger., Prāt 〔492.13〕
〔493.2, 4, 9〕 etc., see cetanaka. In Lang. 〔22.98〕 it was stated that the subject of Pali cetāpeti, causes to be bought, has bought, ‘is always a monk or nun, who instigates (a layman) to buy (something for himself or herself).’ This is true only in Vin. 〔iv.250.14—15〕
in Vin. 〔iii.216.13〕 and 〔237.10〕 the subject is a layman, tho the mg. is certainly causes to be bought, has bought (for the benefit of a monk). Vin. 〔iii.216.13〕 is the same passage as Prāt 〔492.13〕 (see cetanaka) where cetayitvā, having bought, replaces Pali cetāpetvā, having had (ordered) bought (for a monk). The non-caus. form of Prāt proves the meaning of the caus. Pali form, which Pali interpreters have not understood. The former is not recorded in Pali, nor the latter in BHS. The etymology is unknown but the mg. is clear from the contexts.
