Ihāmutra (इहामुत्र) refers to “here and hereafter”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.54 (“Description of the duties of the chaste wife”).—Accordingly, as a Brahmin lady said to Pārvatī: “O Pārvatī, listen to my words with love that accentuate righteousness, that increase the pleasure here and hereafter (ihāmutra) and afford happiness to those who pay heed to them. A chaste lady sanctifies the worlds, destroys sins and is blessed. None else is so worthy of respect. O Pārvatī, she who serves her husband with love and considers him her sole lord, enjoys all pleasures here and obtains salvation hereafter along with her husband. [...]”.

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.
