Sujātajāta (सुजातजात).—adj., in Lalitavistara 77.16 (prose) agreeable, of sounds: °ta-śabdāś ca śrūyante sma, and (only) agreeable sounds were heard; so Tibetan, sgra skad sñan baḥi sgra dag kyaṅ; contrasting with ill-omened sounds (as of crows, jackals, etc.) just mentioned as abolished; here there can be no doubt of the meaning Cf. Pali Sn 548 paripuṇṇakāyo suruci sujāto cārudassano (of the Buddha). Perhaps in the same meaning sujātajātaḥ Lalitavistara 112.12 (prose), in a list of epithets of Śākyamuni, agreeable (but Tibetan here legs par skye bas skyes pa, quite literally, born by a good birth). Perh. also in Lalitavistara 96.6; here, after the Bodhisattva's birth, (apsarases) bodhisattvamātaram upasaṃkramya sujāta- jāta-tām aklāntakāyatāṃ ca paripṛcchanti sma (Lefm. sujātajāte tām, but read with v.l. as above, and so in repetitions 8, 10, 12, 14); this, it seems, in view of the parallels, may well mean approached…and inquired as to her agreeable (physical) condition and state of having an unwearied body, despite Tibetan bltams pa legs par bltam mam, lit. well-born born state, which Foucaux, not un- naturally, takes to refer to successful parturition; yet the [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] (with -jāta, not jāti) hardly supports this.
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.
