Sruta
( śruta , subst. nt. , as in Skt. , the (here Buddhist) holy word ; cf. next, where the same mg. appears, as also in Pali suta: (Ṛāvaṇaḥ) cinteti kim idaṃ ko 'yaṃ deśitaṃ kena vā śrutam Laṅk 8.16 ( vs ), after disappearance of the vision of Buddha instructing Mahāmati etc. , he thought: What was this (sight)? Who was this? Or by whom was the sacred word taught? Suzuki leaves deśitaṃ out of his translation, which is unsatisfactory in other ways.)
