cetayati 1 · cetayati 2
1 cetayati ( Skt. caus. of cit, not in this mg. ; = Pali ceteti), longs for ( dat. ): saṃghasya ca alābhāya apadāya °yati MSV iii.8.14 .
2 cetayati (the verb on which is based Pali caus. cetāpeti, below), buys : cetayitvā, ger. , Prāt 492.13 ; 493.2, 4, 9 etc. , see cetanaka . In Lang. 22.98 it was stated that the subject of Pali cetāpeti, causes to be bought, has bought , ‘is always a monk or nun, who instigates (a layman) to buy (something for himself or herself).’ This is true only in Vin. iv.250.14—15 ; in Vin. iii.216.13 and 237.10 the subject is a layman, tho the mg. is certainly causes to be bought, has bought (for the benefit of a monk). Vin. iii.216.13 is the same passage as Prāt 492.13 (see cetanaka ) where cetayitvā, having bought , replaces Pali cetāpetvā, having had (ordered) bought (for a monk). The non- caus. form of Prāt proves the meaning of the caus. Pali form, which Pali interpreters have not understood. The former is not recorded in Pali , nor the latter in BHS . The etymology is unknown but the mg. is clear from the contexts.
