In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāUdghaṭitajñā (उद्घटितज्ञा) refers to “(understanding) a condensed statement”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, as the Lord said: “So it is, friends. The sphere of the Buddha is just like what you said. However, friends, their thoughts are dependently originated, and I see living beings who walks with desire and who stops without desire, who wears a dharma-robe being full of impurities and who puts on the robe without impurities, and who eats porridge out of greed and who stops it without appetite. O friends, the types of behavior of living beings are so diverse. Since there are living beings who strive for [the Buddha’s] words by understanding a condensed statement (udghaṭitajñā) or by understanding a full, detailed explanations, the Tathāgata gives them the discourses of teaching the dharma, accordingly to each individual”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.

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.
