Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: The Purana IndexKakudmin (ककुद्मिन्).—The eldest of Reva(ta)'s hundred sons. Father of Revatī (Surata) whom he took to Brahmā for a suitable bridegroom. As Brahmā was engaged in attending to music, the king waited, and afterwards the Creator laughingly said that it was past 27 × 4 yugas since he came there. At that time was flourishing Balarāma whose name was suggested for his daughter's husband. On return he found his country overrun by Yakṣas, and getting his daughter married to Balarāma, he retired to Badari to perform penance.1 Ruled from Kuśasthali. During his sojourn at Brahmā's residence, the Rākṣasas captured the capital and put to flight his younger brothers who established smaller states then and there.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.
