Samūhati (समूहति).—(?) , raises: āśvāsapraśvāsā uparudhvā (mss. [Page575-a+ 71] °ruddhā) ūrdhvaṃ śīṛṣakapālaṃ vātā praharetsu samū- hetsuḥ (v.l. samuttejetsuḥ) Mahāvastu ii.125.6; I believe this would have to be an anomalous denom. to samūhata, q.v., in the different meaning of raised, which is found also with ūhata, q.v.; or at least, this form, if correct, must have been influenced by that word. But it may be that we should read samūhanetsuḥ, to *samūhanati, on the basis of the Pali parallel Majjhimanikāya (Pali) i.243.23 vātā muddhānaṃ ūhananti (raise); the Lalitavistara version is confused and doubtful, vāyur ūrdh(v)aṃ śiraḥkapālam (mss. °lām) upanihanti (v.l. upasaṃharati) 252.1, and āśvāsapraśvāsā ūrdh(v)aṃ śiraḥkapālam (v.l. °lā) upanighnanti (v.l. samuvaghnanti) 3—4; Senart implausibly connects the word with the noun samūha, detaching it from its evident direct object śīrṣa- kapālaṃ.

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.
