Pragharati (प्रघरति).—(praggh°? below; see gharati; Pali paggharati, which because of the double ggh is customarily associated with Sanskrit kṣar-, Geiger 56.2; even Sanskrit, and still more [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit], has forms which at least look as if they came from a root ghṛ-, ghar-, see Wh. Roots and [Boehtlingk and Roth]; compare also parighareti), flows forth: °ti Mahāvyutpatti 6967 (here v.l. praggha- rati, and so Mironov; the only trace in [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] tradition of the double ggh); Divyāvadāna 57.21; 409.1; Śikṣāsamuccaya 249.7; Avadāna-śataka i.202.13; Karmavibhaṅga (and Karmavibhaṅgopadeśa) 66.4. See also prākharati (pra°?). It may be, perhaps, that the [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] forms of ghar- (not in Pali) origin- ated as simplex back-formations from MIndic paggharati, and that pragharati (instead of praggh°) was influenced by gharati.How are the Sanskrit forms to be interpreted? Uhlenbeck connects them with ghṛta, ghee.

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.
