What does the Sanskrit word “Pragyan” translate to?

“>Pragyan”> translates to ‘wisdom’ in Sanskrit. The rover, with its profound name, was part of the Chandrayaan-3 mission that successfully landed on the Moon on Aug. 23, 2023. It landed near the lunar south pole. On Sept. 2, the Pragyan rover was put into “>sleep mode”> to protect it during the lunar night, which lasts for two weeks and sees temperatures drop to -250 degrees Celsius. The ISRO planned to reawaken the rover on Sept. 22 but has been unable to contact the robot since.
