Abhyantarāgra (अभ्यन्तराग्र).—adj., with tips (directed) inward (and roots outward), said of the grass ground-cover spread by the Bodhisattva for himself at the Bodhi-tree: Lalitavistara 289.12 °graṃ bahirmūlaṃ…tṛṇasaṃstaraṇaṃ saṃstīrya; in the corresponding passages Mahāvastu ii.131.14 and 268.2 read abhyantarāgraṃ (in the first Senart anyatarāgra, re- portedly with one ms., v.l. °graṃ; in the second Senart abhyantarāgre, with mss.; in both the following noun is tṛṇasaṃstaraṃ; has bahirmūlaṃ been accidentally lost in the Mahāvastu text?).

context information

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.
