• Grestenberger, Lauren (2022), “Ved. -anta, Gk. -οντο, and the thematic aorist in Vedic and Greek”, in Scharf, Peter M., editor, शब्दानुगमः: Indian linguistic studies in honor of George Cardona, volume 2, The Sanskrit Library, page 117:

  εγρετο is the oldest extant aorist formation of the root *h₁ger ‘wake up’ acknowledged by Rix (2001: 245), where it is analyzed as thematized root aorist. The root has an old stative perfect (Ved.jagā́ra, YAv. jaγāra, Gk. ἐγρήγορε ‘is awake’) and a potentially old full grade thematic present, Ved. járate ‘is waking up’. It is therefore a good candidate for an old proto-middle aorist both from a semantic (“woke up”) and a morphological point of view, but lacks the relevant comparanda in Indo-Iranian.
