saṃmukhā(t) , adv. ( abl. of °kha; = Pali °khā), ( 1 ) from (the presence of) , with gen. ( cf. saṃmukham , 2): bhagavato °khā śrutvā °khā pragṛhītvā Mv i.319.6 ; śrutaṃ hi mayā mahābrahmaṇo °khād … iii.217.8 ; 218.4 and ( om. mahā) 17 ( mss. always brāhm°); ( 2 ) in the presence of , with gen. (so also Pali , Miln. 28.6 ): evaṃ Bhagavāṃ Uruvilvā-kāśyapasya saṃmukhā ( v.l. °khāt) trayo bhrātarāṃ … vinayesi Mv iii.428.9 ; similarly 429.11 °kāśyapasya saṃmukhā (but here mss. pramukhā; Senartʼs note suggests reading in both places °Kāśyapa-pramukhā, of whom K. was the chief ; there were, in fact, only three brothers, counting U. - K. , and perhaps Senart ʼs suggestion is right).
