(prajYAyate, -prajYAyate)
-prajñāyate¦, denom. from -prajñā, in jāti-prajñāyate jarā-pr° vyādhi-pr° maraṇa-pr° LV 19.12 (prose), there is knowledge of birth, old age, disease, death; based on cpd. jāti-prajñā, etc. Weller 18 wrongly assumes that jāti etc. are separate nouns, n. sg., and prajñāyate pass.; this is the construction in Mv i.52.10 jarā vyādhi maraṇaṃ (so mss.; Senart as one dvandva cpd., em. °maraṇā) ca prajñāyanti, old age, disease, and death become known. In prose of LV it is hardly conceivable that jāti, vyādhi, and maraṇa would occur in one sentence as n. sg.; while in prose of Mv vyādhi is not at all surprising as n. sg.
