Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraAntavat (啶呧え啷嵿い啶掂い啷�) refers to 鈥渢hat which is finite鈥�, according to Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra (chapter 31).鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淲ithout knowing if the 膩tman exists or does not exist, you are asking why one does not produce the idea of the 膩tman in regard to another. [The distinctions] between one鈥檚 own body (腻迟尘补办腻测补) and another鈥檚 body (辫补谤补办腻测补) exist as a function of the 膧tman. But the 膧tman is non-existent. [The characteristics attributed to it]: having form (谤奴辫颈苍) or formless (a谤奴辫颈苍), permanent (nitya) or impermanent (anitya), finite (antavat) or infinite (ananta), moveable (驳补苍迟峁�) or motionless (a驳补苍迟峁�), cognizant (箩帽腻迟峁�) or ignorant (a箩帽腻迟峁�), active (办腻谤补办补) or inactive (a办腻谤补办补), autonomous (svatantra) or non-autonomous (asvatantra): all these characteristics of the 膩tman do not exist, as we have said above in the chapter on the 膧tman.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
