prezayati
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 ʼs 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 .
