Śiva had the complexion of the colour of the Campaka flower. He had only one face but retained the three eyes. The face was beaming with a simple smile (īṣaddhāsya). He was bedecked in gems and gold and wore a garland of Mālatī flowers. The gem-set crown was lustrous. He wore brilliant necklaces. He was bedecked in bangles and bracelets of fine workmanship.

[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.
