saṃgīti, f. (in Skt. as n. of a meter, otherwise only Lex., and once in Schmidt, Nachträge, conversation
in Pali comes nearer to BHS usage, see esp. Childers, but still acc. to Dictt. is not identical),
(1) singing (so in Pali
perh. esp. in unison, choral singing?), music (esp. vocal): Mvy 〔5022〕 (after tūryam) = Tib. glu dbyaṅs
apsarasaḥ- … -saṃgīti … LV 〔10.22〕
apsara-saṃgīti-rutena Gv 〔252.5〕
divya-°tiṣu ratir na bhavati Gv 〔118.24〕
(Śuddhodana speaks to the princeʼs female attendants, mā sma kadācit) °tiṃ vichetsyatha LV 〔193.1〕, similarly 12
°ti-prāsāda, music-hall, LV 〔41.10〕 (Śuddhodanasya
= Tib. rol mo bya baḥi, for making music)
Bodhisattva-°ti-prāsāda Gv 〔385.18—19〕 (the young princeʼs music-hall in Kapilavastu, named Dharmadhātupratibhāsaprabha)
sama-, or samaṃ, saṃgīti, chanting in unison, (sc. Mahā-brahmāṇaḥ) ekasvareṇa sama-(v.l. samaṃ
is this also part of cpd. with next?)saṃgītyā taṃ bhagavantam ābhiḥ … gāthābhir adhyabhāṣanta SP 〔167.3〕
virtually same phrase 〔170.12〕
〔173.13〕
〔178.8〕
〔271.6〕
〔401.1〕
〔402.3〕
some mss. sometimes reported saṃgītya, which must be an error
with one voice, in united choral chanting, addressed … with these verses (in 〔401.1〕 bhagavata imāni dhāraṇīmantrapadāni prayacchanti sma)
(2) esp. in dharma-°ti, recitation or pronouncement of the true Doctrine: (mahāvimāne, in heaven … mahāvipuladharma-)-saṃgīti-(Tib. yaṅ dag par brjod pas, by perfect speech, expression)-sarvakāmarativegakleśachedane LV 〔11.5〕
saṃgītikuśalās tathāgatadharmāṇām SP 〔312.3〕, skilled in proclaiming the Buddhaʼs Doctrine (Tib. as on LV 〔11.5〕)
(after statement that a Bodhisattva will preach the Doctrine) bhavanti cāsya dharma-°tyāṃ sahāyakā(ḥ) SP 〔286.7〕, and he will have assistants in proclaiming the Doctrine, not, I think, [Page548-a] in assemblies or a synod, with Burnouf and Kern
Tib. here (chos) yaṅ dag par ḥgro baḥi
for the last read bgro baḥi, see s.v. Saṃgītiparyāya
ḥgro = go, but bgro = argue, discuss, deliberate, consider
so Tib. in discussion of the Doctrine
(Mahākāśyapaḥ …) dharma-°tiṃ kartukāmaḥ Av 〔ii.204.12〕 (after Buddhaʼs nirvāṇa
but there is no mention of a council!), and so in the title of the story, saṃgītiḥ 〔197.1〕, proclamation, public declaration (sc. of the Doctrine)
prob. here also, satyasaṃgītiḥ kulaputra dharmasaṃgītiḥ Śikṣ 〔12.8—9〕, cited from Dharmasaṃgīti-sūtra, proclamation of the Doctrine is (the same as) proclamation of Truth (Bendall and Rouse, to be in concert with …)
(3) in Pali (see Childers) used of the rehearsal of sacred texts at one of the Councils of Buddhist monks, also of these Councils themselves, as ‘rehearsals’, and finally of the collections (esp. the four great nikāya = BHS āgama) of texts rehearsed. This meaning, or these meanings, seem related, at least possibly, to the following: saṃgīti-kāraḥ Mvy 〔2762〕, acc. to Tib. yaṅ dag par sdud par byed pa, one who puts into a grand collection, i.e. who helps to establish the canon
etymologically the word could mean one who makes a proclamation (of the Doctrine)
rājabhāryā sarvabuddha-°tiṃ sarvabuddhadharmaguhyasthānāni ca saṃjānīte sma SP 〔464.3〕, Tib. saṅs rgyas thams cad kyis kun bstan pa = what has been completely taught by all the Buddhas (could be taken with 2, above, as well as here)
(after Buddhaʼs nirvāṇa, his disciples mantrayanti …) nirvṛtisamayakāle (Senart em. nirvṛtī-, m.c.
mss. °la-)saṃgītiṃ (Senartʼs em., corrupt mss. mostly samaṃgīti) Mv 〔i.69.4〕 (vs), here possibly common rehearsal or ‘council’, but could also mean merely proclamation
(4) rehearsal = study, conning, memorizing, learning, of non-Buddhist religious texts: (a brahman lad) Uttareṇa tahiṃ (to the sage Asita) gatvā vedā adhītā
so dāni saṃgītiṃ kṛtvā pituḥ sakāśam āgato Mv 〔iii.383.1〕, he studied the Vedas
he now, after having made a complete rehearsal (or memorization, of them), came home to his father
(tāni parivrājaka-)śāstrāṇi (as taught by Saṃjayin Vairaṭīputra) saṃgītī- (mss. °tiṃ) kṛtvā (having rehearsed, or memorized) Rājagṛhaṃ praviṣṭā Mv 〔iii.59.18〕 (they had already lost faith in the value of these doctrines, line 14).
