The Mahāvyutpatti ( Devanagari : महाव्युत्पत्ति ) is a Sanskrit - Tibetan terminology dictionary . It was written at the beginning of the 9th century and contains 9565 entries in 227 chapters.
The Mahāvyutpatti (from Sanskrit mahā "big", vyutpatti "derivation, etymology") arose in the year 802 or 814 from an effort to create a standardized Tibetan terminology for Sanskrit terms of Buddhism . It was developed by a team of translators from Tibetans and Indians created with the support of the Tibetan royal family. It was included in the Buddhist canon and its terminological equivalents were binding for later translations , therefore it was also understood as a "royal decree". The same team also wrote the ༄ ༅ ༎ སྒྲ་ སྦྱོར་ བམ་ བམ་ པོ་ གཉིས་ པ་ ༎ (* Madhyavyutpatti ), a commentary on a selection of terms from the Mahāvyutpatti.
Later there were editions with translations into Chinese , Mongolian and Manchurian . The Mahāvyutpatti inspired numerous glossaries such as the Wǔ yì hébì jíyào 《五 譯 合璧 集 要》 .
