Saṃghāṭasūtra (संघाटसूत्र).—name of a work: Mahāvyutpatti 1386. The meaning of saṃghāṭa here is uncertain. There is a Prakrit (AMg. etc.) word saṃghāḍa, pair, couple; Tibetan on Mahāvyutpatti seems to have had this in mind with its dge ḥdun (= saṃgha!) zuṅ (pair) gi mdo, book of a pair of (monastic) assemblies? One Chin. renders collection or fusion (compare Sanskrit saṃghāta), the other transliterates the word and adds a term which [Page549-b+ 71] otherwise renders Arthavargīya, q.v. Japanese cites the full title, Āryasaṃghāṭadharmaparyāya-sūtra.

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.
