Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryUtkumbhati (उत्कुम्भति).—probably rears (of a balky horse; so guessed from context): Kāśyapa Parivarta 108.2 (yatra…) aśva(ḥ) skhalati utkumbhati vā khaḍunka- (q.v.)-kriyā vā karoti, when a horse stumbles or rears or acts viciously. Tibetan seems to have no correspondent for this word; the several Chin. versions, likewise, fail to clarify it; they seem to have only two verbal expressions for three of the [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit].
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.
