Thus, it can be said that the flourishing days of Padhavali were contemporary with those of Kutwar or ancient Kāntipurī, one of the three capitals of the Nāgas who ruled over this part of the country in the 3rd and 4th centuries A.D.

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.
