Utpattati (उत्पत्तति).—(ger. °ttitvā(na), ppp. °ttita; app. blend of utpatati with a quasi-denom. from utpatti, or modi- fication of utpatati by confusion with utpatti; Senart i.374 n.), springs up, goes forth, flies up: °tvā Mahāvastu i.6.8 ff. (prose), six times, subject rays of light, arci(s), as also with ppp. °tā Mahāvastu i.26.3 (prose; in same line nipatitāyo, fallen down); °tvā Mahāvastu ii.243.11 (prose), subject śakuntako, hence clearly to root pat, fly; ger. °tvāna, Mahāvastu iii.456.5, subject inhabitants of hell; in parallel to this, i.11.15, Senart reads utpatitvāna, but mss. (upetitvāna or upentit- vāna) are equally favorable to utpatti°; the meaning could be having gone (flown?) forth, or perhaps having originated, been (re-) born.

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.
