amātya-prekṣita
Entry 1794, Page 63, Col. 1

(amAtyaprekzita, amAtya-prekzita)
amātya-prekṣita¦, Mv ii.1.9 (mss.), or amātyā- vekṣita, LV 23.20, watched (guarded) by ministers, nt. adj., epithet of the family in which the Bodhisattva is to be born; to be taken closely with foll. phrase, Mv taṃ kulaṃ bhogāṃ bhuṃjati, LV tat kulaṃ bhavati bhogān paribhunakti, it eats its meals (or, enjoys its wealth) under the guardianship of ministers; so Tib. blon pos blta zhiṅ loṅs spyod la spyod pa yin. In Mv the mss. have °preṣitaṃ, which Senart emends rightly; but he also, wrongly, em. amānya for amātya. The parallel Mv i.197.19 is different and doubtless corrupt.
