khādati

 The term "khādati" translates to "eats" or 

"consumes" in English.

Explanation

• In Sanskrit, "खादति" (khādati) is a verb in the present tense, third 
• person singular form, meaning "he/she/it eats" or "consumes". 
• It comes from the root "खा" (khā), which generally refers to eating 
• or chewing.
• In Pali, "khādati" carries a very similar meaning: "to eat". It typically 
• appears in canonical texts describing actions of beings consuming 
• food or sustenance.

Usage Context

• Example sentence in Pali: "Rājakumāro khādati" → "The prince eats."
• The verb is commonly seen in both religious and classical literature 
• where consumption is described literally, and occasionally 
• metaphorically (e.g., consuming offerings or wisdom).

Thus, whenever you encounter "khādati" in texts, it is safe to render 

it as "eats" or "consumes" in English.
