Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Indian Epigraphical GlossaryĀvasathika.—(IE 8-3), variously explained as ‘the superin- tendent of avasathas, i. e. colleges or dharma-śālās’, ‘the super- visor of the royal palace and other government buildings’ (Hist. Beng., I, ed. Majumdar, p. 284); ‘one who keeps the domestic fire (āvasathya) burning with daily offerings’ (D. Bhattacharya, Halāyudha's Brāhmaṇasarvasva, p. xx); etc. (EI 9, 11, 24), title or family name of Brāhmaṇas. Cf. Āvasathin. Note: āvasathika is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.

[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.
