Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryParijñātabhojana (परिज्ञातभोजन).—adj. [bahuvrīhi] (= Pali pariñ-ñāta-bh°), having true knowledge about food: pratyeka- buddho pari° sarvāśuciparikṣīṇo mahābhāgo Mahāvastu i.302.9; ye °janā(ḥ) Udānavarga xxix.35 = Pali Dhammapada (Pali) 92 ye pariññāta- bhojanā, expl. in commentary ii.172.1 ff. as having the three pariññā, viz. ñāta-pa°, knowing what the food is that he is eating; tīraṇa-pa°, keeping in mind while eating that food is repulsive; and pahāna-pa°, keeping in mind the rejection of pleasure in eating. I have found no evidence in [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] for this or any specific understanding of the term.
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), 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.
