Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionarySamuttara (समुत्तर).—(*), a crossing over (compare next), in an-a-samut-taro Mahāvastu i.14.10 (verse), having no crossing over, that cannot be crossed over, see under an-a-. Senart assumes that °tara is for °tāra (next), presumably m.c.; meter does indeed require a short penult. But neither °tara nor °tāra seems to be recorded except here and in the Divyāvadāna passages, which are substantially repetitions of a single passage.

Samuttāra (समुत्तार).—m. (compare Sanskrit uttāra), a crossing over, of rivers (compare prec.): Divyāvadāna 451.9; (Vetranadyāṃ tīkṣṇaśastra-)- saṃpātayogena °raḥ 451.11; similarly 456.27; 457.1; all substantially one passage; nom. sg. °tāraḥ except in 451.9 where °tāraṃ of mss. and ed. is probably an error for °tāraḥ.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.

Source: DDSA: Paia-sadda-mahannavo; a comprehensive Prakrit Hindi dictionarySamuttara (समुत्तर) in the Prakrit language is related to the Sanskrit word: Samuttṛ.
Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
