E. dakṣa the Bramhadika, as Daksha, adhvara a sacrifice, dhvaṃsakṛt subduer or disturber: Daksha having on one occasion made a sacrifice, to which he invited all the gods, except his son-in-law Siva, and his wife Sati, the latter went unbid, and being received coolly, threw herself into the fire; This being informed siva, tore off a lock of his hair and cast it violently on the ground. It started up into being a demon named Birbhadra who being ordered by siva proceeded against Daksha, and an affray ensued, in which the gods and Rishis were maltreated and dispersed, and Daksha decapitated; he was restored to life, and the head of a ram substituted for the one he had lost.

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.
