Samudghāṭayati (समुद्घाटयति).—removes, abolishes, destroys: kle-śānuśayāḥ °ṭayitavyāḥ Gaṇḍavyūha 458.11; compare °ghaṭana. Sanskrit has udghaṭati, opens (intr.), and (sam-)udghāṭayati, opens (trans.); in this meaning [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] °ghāṭana; it seems that all the other related words (°ghaṭana etc. thru °ghāṭin) have the meaning appropriate to samudghāta and its sept, which is paralleled in Pali.In [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit], but only here so far as recorded, confusion has occurred between derivs. of (sam-ud-)ghaṭ- and han- (caus.).

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.
