But Senart failed to note that the passage i.9.8— 12.14 is repeated in iii.454.7—456.20. This line occurs iii.454.15, reading kadaryatapanā ghorā, which disproves at least part of Senart's em. and is close enough to the reading of the mss. at i.9.16 to make it acceptable as a whole.]

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
