Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraGhoṣilārama (घोषिलारम) is the name of a stoppig-place, or vihāra located at Kauśambī, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter V. Note: Ghoṣila (in Pāli Ghosaka) and the 500 ascetics of the Himavat whom he maintained had gone to Śrāvastī to invite the Buddha. When the latter accepted their invitation, they built dwellings at Kauśāmbī to receive him and his monks. The construction of Ghoṣila was called Ghoṣilārāma, in Pāli, Ghositārārma. Cf. Dhammapadaṭṭha, I; Papañca, II.

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.
