(prezayati, prezayati, prezeti)
preṣayati, preṣeti¦ (cf. Skt. id., Pali peseti, sends), with cittaṃ, directs the thought (with dat., or loc., towards, see saṃpreṣayati): cittu preṣeti varāgrabodhaye LV 179.6 (vs). Acc. to Senart, Mv i note 535, preṣayati would have this same mg. with ellipsis of cittaṃ in Mv i.202.14 = ii.6.11 (vs); and, I would add, surely the same form (preṣaya) should be read in the same line i.145.17, where all mss. omit the verb altogether but Senart by em. inserts prekṣasva, instead of preṣaya of the other passages. Senart's interpretation of preṣaya seems hardly necessary; it may mean order, direct, command; cf. Pali Vin. ii.177.19 (ārāmikā) a-pesiyamānā (pass. pple.), not being directed, commanded; and SP 116.5.
