Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionarySaṃghaṭanaka (संघटनक) or Saṃghaṭana.—(nt.?; to prec.), vigor, firmness, [Page549-a+ 70] strength: Mahāvastu iii.13.5 nārāyaṇa-saṃghaṭano (mss. °tano, °ṭṭano) rājā…having the vigor (prowess) of N.; in Lalitavistara 229.13—14 text clearly corrupt, mss. on the whole seem to support the following reading, which corresponds to Tibetan sred med kyi bu chen po ltar mkhregs pa daṅ sred med kyi by phyed ltar mkhregs pa ḥi rkyan de rnams de dag gis ma theg go: tāni (sc. the Bodhisattva's abandoned ornaments) mahānārāyaṇa-saṃghaṭanakāny ardhanārā- yaṇa-saṃhananāni na śaknuvanti sma dhārayitum, since these (ornaments) had the stoutness of Great N., the vigor of Half-N. (see Ardhanārāyaṇa; so Tibetan), they (the Śākyas) could not lift them. Tibetan uses the same word, mkhregs pa, hardness, firmness, for both saṃghaṭanaka and saṃhanana (the latter is Sanskrit). Cf. Lalitavistara 234.15 Nārāyaṇa- sthāmavan (Lefm. text narā°), which indicates that saṃ- ghaṭana is a synonym of sthāman.
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.
