Prob. false Sanskritization of Pali uggāhako (vā paripucchako siyā, same line as above, Jātaka (Pali) v.148.19). Alternatively, might be false Sanskritization of a Pali *ogāhaka to ogāhati, °heti (= Sanskrit ava-gāh-), penetrates (used once with object lokanāthassa sāsanaṃ, Pv. commentary 287.12).
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.
