The precise meaning is obscure to me; in corresponding lists of arts I have found nothing similar, unless jantunā Mahāvastu i.129.9 (in a corrupt and obscure line, included in a passage of similar tenor) conceals jatunā, instr. of jatu.
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.
