Ajñātayakṣma (अज्ञातयक्ष्म, “unknown sickness”) is mentioned in the Rigveda, Atharvaveda, and Kāṭhaka-saṃhitā. It is referred to in connection with Rājayakṣma. Grohmann thinks that the two are different forms of disease, hypertrophy and atrophy, the purpose of the spell in the Rigveda being thus the removal of all disease. From the Atharvaveda he deduces its identity with Balāsa. Zimmer, however, points out that this conclusion is unjustified, leaving the disease unidentified, which seems to accord with its name.

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.
