(-vānaḥ) (ved.) Having sons, having progeny; (according to Mahīdhara's comm. on apnavāno bhṛgavaḥ Vājas. 3. 15., also as a proper name; but Sāyaṇa takes in the corresponding passage of the Ṛgv. Iv. 7. 1. apnavānaḥ for the nom. sing. of apnavāna, an interpretation probably more correct than that of Mahīdhara). E. apna, taddh. aff. vanip (?).
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.
