    ☞ p. 63, col. 1.
    amātya-prekṣita , Mv ii.1.9 (mss.), or amātyā-

    vekṣita, LV 23.20, watched (guarded) by ministers, nt.

    adj., epithet of the family in which the Bodhisattva is

    to be born; to be taken closely with foll. phrase, Mv

    taṃ kulaṃ bhogāṃ bhuṃjati, LV tat kulaṃ bhavati

    bhogān paribhunakti, it eats its meals (or, enjoys its wealth)

    under the guardianship of ministers; so Tib. blon pos blta

    zhiṅ loṅs spyod la spyod pa yin. In Mv the mss. have

    °preṣitaṃ, which Senart emends rightly; but he also,

    wrongly, em. amānya for amātya. The parallel Mv i.197.19

    is different and doubtless corrupt.
