Yatrahi-nāma (यत्रहि-नाम).—(= Pali id.), inasmuch as: evaṃ durlabhā bodhir yatra hi nāma kalpānāṃ śatasahasreṇa Mahāvastu i.55.12, in that case (evaṃ) enlightenment is hard to get, inasmuch as (it is got only) in 100,000 kalpas; similarly i.57.2, variant of i.35.12, where yad idaṃ, q.v., is used instead of yatra hi nāma; āścaryaṃ yāvad (Kashgar recension and 2 Nepalese mss. om. yāvad) yatra hi nāmāsya…pari- bhoktopalabdhaḥ Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 103.14, O wonderful! inasmuch as (now) someone to enjoy this (wealth) has been found! (yāvad is probably to be omitted; if kept, it goes closely with āścaryaṃ; what a great wonder! or, it's nothing less than a miracle!).

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.
