Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryKruhi (क्रुहि).—[, Mahāvastu i.280.14 and ii.405.15, so Senart with mss.; but read brūmi in both. Note that mss. at ii.405.15 point to (a)ham as subject. In a number of other places the Mahāvastu mss. read kruhi or krumi (ii.50.2, 12; 51.2, 12; 52.2; 181.16; 193.10; 256.15; 294.13; 482.12; iii.17.18; 214.4), but Senart always em. brūhi or brūmi; also in i.307.1 mss. krutha, Senart em. brutha, intending brūtha. Sometimes a corresponding Pali passage proves the emendation right, e.g. Mahāvastu iii.214.4 = Dīghanikāya (Pali) ii.242.16 brūhi; Mahāvastu ii.50.2 = Jātaka (Pali) v.387.21 vadāmi (Mahāvastu brūmi). In my opinion Senart should have made a clean sweep of these erroneous forms and adopted brūmi in i.280.14 and ii.405.15.]
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.
