प्रशठ (prazaTha)

English
प्र-शठ
mfn.
very false or wicked (-ता
f.
),
L.
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
? praśaṭha, °ṭhā, °ṭhatā, uncertain
in KP 〔154.1〕 (prose) samyakprahāṇa-(see prahāṇa)-prasaṭhā (so divide) ri-(lacuna
Tib. rdzu ḥphrul = ṛddhi-)
Tib. renders prasaṭhā by ḥgro ba, here doubtless entrance into
the syllable ṭhā seems corrupt but I think of no attractive em. Dubious also is praśaṭhatā Mvy 〔2101〕 (both edd., no v.l.), which looks as if it meant trickery, deceitfulness (so pw 〔7.362〕
cf. AMg. pasaḍha, rogue, trickster)
but Tib. renders rnal du (into tranquillity) (ḥ)bab (entrance into) or ḥdug pa (state of), which suggests a form of śam (cf. śamatha)
Chin. acc. to Ting, elimination of differences among things, resulting in tranquillity (the last phrase not in Chin. here but cited from a parallel passage).
