Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionarySaṃpratigrāhin (संप्रतिग्राहिन्).—adj. or n. ag. (to Sanskrit saṃ-prati-grah- with -in; compare prec.), accepting, one who accepts: taṃ nūnam agrasattvo hy agrāhuti-°hī Lalitavistara 316.8 (verse), probably therefore surely the Supreme Being is accepting the supreme offering. So Lefm. implies, by printing °huti-saṃ° as one word. In JAOS 57.22 I took the form as an aor. of °grāha- yati (which is not recorded), in the meaning of °gṛhṇāti; this still seems to me possible, but I now prefer the inter- pretation given above.
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.
