All three attacks are very enjoyable when the Vājas attack the Varajas. [...] Horizontal attack means pursuing the quarry in sight or out of sight (lakṣyālakṣya), in the same plane, and striking it like a club. [...]”.

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.
