Accordingly:—“[...] The divine lady [viz., Arundhatī] grew up in the hermitage, Tāpasāraṇya, on the banks of the river—Candrabhāgā. When she reached her fifth year, the chaste lady sanctified the environs of the Tāpasāraṇya and the river Candrabhāgā, by virtue of her good qualities. Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Śiva got her marriage celebrated with Vasiṣṭha, the son of Brahmā”.

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.
