Utkrośayati (उत्क्रोशयति).—(denom. to AMg. ukkosa, see below), exalts, magnifies: Aṣṭasāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā 419.4 ātmānam utkrośayati parān paṃsayati.The AMg. ukkosa is derived by [Paia-sadda-mahaṇṇavo] and [Ardha-Māgadhī Dictionary] from utkarṣa (or utkṛṣṭa) and defined as adj., highest, supreme, or, as n., pride. If this is the true [etymology], our word would be a hyper-Sanskritism, by false [etymology] Possibly, however, the AMg. word may really represent a Sanskrit *utkrośa, which, like Eng. a crying-up, could conceivably have meant glorification. To be sure I find no record, otherwise, of such a meaning in any deriv. of ut-kruś.

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.
