Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionarySaṃdhinirmocana (संधिनिर्मोचन).—nt., setting forth, unfolding of the real truth, fundamental explanation; this seems the only possible meaning in gambhīrārtha-saṃdhi-nirmocana- tā Bodhisattvabhūmi 301.7; 303.19; 304.4; it is confirmed by Tibetan and Chin. on Saṃdhi-nirmocanam Mahāvyutpatti 1359, name of a work; Tibetan dgoṅs pa (= saṃdhi, esoteric meaning) ṅes par ḥgrel pa (real explanation); Chin. unfolding of the real truth, or explanation of the deep mystery; compare JAOS 57.185 ff. In a reply to this note, LaVallée-Poussin, HJAS 3.137 ff., properly corrects what I said about deśanānaya-nirmuktaṃ Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra 5.5 (see s.v. deśanā), but this does not, I think, affect my interpretation of saṃdhi-nirmocana.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
