Origins

In Pali and Sanskrit texts, pāraṃgata means one who has crossed to the other shore: a word for the person after the passage, not the passage itself.

From Sanskrit pāram, the far shore, and gata, gone, from the root gam-, to go. The same crossing named in pāramitā and in the Heart Sutra's gate gate pāragate: gone, gone, gone beyond.

In modern Hindi and Marathi, pārangat means accomplished: master of a subject.

The ṃ is sounded as ng. Pāraṃ-gata, not param-gate.

Paramgata is a project in development.
