संजानाति (saMjAnAti)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
saṃjānāti, °nīte, pass. (or denom. to saṃjñā, name?) saṃjñāyate
caus. saṃjñapayati, saṃjñāp° (all mgs. seem to occur for Pali saṃjānāti, °nati, pass. saññāyati, Childers
nearest recorded Skt. seems to be saṃjajñe, knew, understood, once in Rām., BR jñā with sam, 7),
(1) knows (well): (icchāmy etaṃ yasya dātavyaṃ yataś ca) grahītavyaṃ yac ca nidhātavyaṃ bhavet, sarvaṃ saṃjānīyāḥ SP 〔107.12〕, I want that you should know about all this, to whom anything is to be given, from whom received, and what is to be stored
similarly saṃjānīyād 〔108.2〕
Tib. for saṃjānīyāḥ, khyod kyis śes par (ḥdod do = icchāmi), that you should know
so for °yād, mchis par ḥtshal la
similarly jānāti in 〔108.12〕 = śes so
all these wrongly rendered in BR
(2) knows = recognizes, or becomes aware of: te pi anyam-anyaṃ saṃjānetsuḥ, anye pi kila iha bho sattvā upapannā Mv 〔i.230.3〕, repeated 〔240.13, iii.334.11, 341.15〕
same passage, anyonyam evaṃ saṃjānanti SP 〔163.12〕
°nante LV 〔51.16, 410.20〕
(3) holds, considers, esp. falsely (cf. saṃjñā, saṃjñin): loka evaṃ saṃjānīte SP 〔316.2〕 (erroneous views are then stated)
yad andhakāraṃ tat prakāśam iti saṃjānīṣe, yac ca prakāśaṃ tad andhakāram iti °nīṣe SP 〔135.4—5〕
(4) act., mid., names, calls, and pass. is called, is named: iti caike saṃjānanti (sc. mām) Laṅk 〔192.16〕
〔193.3〕
māṃ janāḥ saṃjānanta udakacandra ivāpraviṣṭanirgatam 〔193.5〕
sarvatra ca śrāvaka iti saṃjñāyate sma SP 〔200.13〕, and in all (previous existences) he has been called ‘Disciple’ (of various Buddhas)
adyāpi ca tāni ṛṣipadāny eva saṃjñāyante LV 〔18.19〕, and even today they are still called ‘the sageʼs traces’
(adyāpi tat pāṃśukūlasīvanam) ity evaṃ saṃjñāyate sma LV 〔267.8〕
(5) caus., [Page551-b] makes known, declares: tena (sa) yācanakaś (…) °jñapayitavyaḥ Śikṣ 〔20.4—5, 9〕, he must declare to the suitor
(rājā Padumāvatīṃ … bahuprakāraṃ) °jñāpeti Mv 〔iii.167.14〕 (foll. by direct quotation), announced(?), or, perh. better, appeased, conciliated (as in Skt.).
