Yamati [yam, given in meaning "uparame" i.e. cessation, quieting at Dhātup 226 and Dhātum 322, at the latter with additional "nāse." On etymology see Walde, Latin Wtb. sub voce redimio and emo: cf. yanta] to restrain, suppress, to become tranquil; only in stanza Dhp 6 = Thag 275 = Ja III 488 as 1st plural medium yamāmase in imperative sense: "pare ca na vijānanti mayaṃ ettha yamāmase," which is explained both at Dhp-a I 65, Thag-a II 114, and Ja III 489 in connection with yama 2 viz. "yamāmase: uparamāma nassāma satataṃ samitaṃ maccu-santikaṃ gacchāmā ti na jānanti," i.e. let us go continually into the presence of death. A little further at Dhp-a I 66 the explanation of it is "bhaṇḍādīnaṃ vuddhiyā vāyamāmā ti na vijānanti." The meaning is "to control oneself," cf. saṃyamāmase S I 209. Leop. v. Schroeder however translates "Und mancher Mann bedenket nicht: wir alle müssen sterben hier" ( Worte der Wahrheit , page 2.). — yameyyātha at S I 217 is wrongly separated from the preceding vā, which ought to be read as vāyameyyātha (so K.S. I 281).
