Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryNirgarati (निर्गरति).—(?) , perhaps rather nirgalati, spits out: Lalitavistara 306.21 (prose) nirgaranto; but best mss. nirgalanto; object ayoguḍāni, spitting forth. Cf. [Boehtlingk and Roth] s.v. gal plus nis, nirgali- tāmbugarbhaṃ śaradghanam Ragh. 5.17, which could very well mean an autumn cloud that has ejected its water- content. On the other hand, nirgīrṇa is recorded in [Boehtlingk and Roth] once from Rām. Neither nir-gṝ nor nir-gal seems recorded otherwise, in Sanskrit or MIndic. Since galati is the regular present to gal, it seems more likely that the best mss. of Lalitavistara have the true form, nirgalanto.
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.
