Marathi is an Indo-European language having over 70 million native speakers people in (predominantly) Maharashtra India. Marathi, like many other Indo-Aryan languages, evolved from early forms of Prakrit, which itself is a subset of Sanskrit, one of the most ancient languages of the world.
Sanskrit dictionary
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryJīvati (जीवति).—(for Sanskrit jīyate, pass. to jayati), is conquered, is lost: yasya jitaṃ nātha jīvati Mahāvastu iii.91.19 (verse) = Pali [Page244-a+ 71] Dhammapada (Pali) 179 yassa jitaṃ nāvajīyati, which proves the meaning (and suggests nāva- for nātha = na atha?); if not a mere corruption, change of y to v, § 2.31.
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.
