Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarJahatsvārthā (जहत्स्वार्था).—(वृत्ति (vṛtti)) a composite expression where the constituent members give up their individual sense. In compound words such as राजपुरुष (rājapuruṣa) in the sentence राजपुरुषमा-नय (rājapuruṣamā-naya) the word राजन् (rājan) gives up its sense in as much as he, the king,-is not brought; पुरुष (puruṣa) also gives up its sense as every man is not brought. It is of course to be noted that although the sense is given up by cach word, it is not completely given up: cf जहदप्यसेो स्वार्थ नात्यन्ताय जहाति (jahadapyaseो svārtha nātyantāya jahāti); M. Bh. on P. II. 1.1. Vart. 2. For detailed explanation see Mahabhasya on P. II. I. I. Vart. 2.

[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.
