XIII.4.54, XIII.4) and represents one of the many proper names used for people and places. Note: The Mahābhārata (mentioning Kārīṣi) is a Sanskrit epic poem consisting of 100,000 ślokas (metrical verses) and is over 2000 years old.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.

Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryKārīṣi (कारीषि).—(?) [ form and meaning doubtful, in refrain pāda: kārīṣi (so the mss. seem clearly to indicate; sometimes they read °ṣu, and other vv.ll.) dattvā jinacetiyeṣu Mahāvastu ii.384.17, repeated 21, 385.3, 7, 11, 19, 23. A parallel verse occurring in the midst of these, 385.15, has (na) tailavinduṃ jina- stūpe dattvā; and in a following verse 386.1 tailasya vinduṃ jinacetiyeṣu occurs. This suggests that possibly tālīśa (°śu, for °śaṃ?) should be read, = Pali tālīsa, tālissa, a ‘powder or ointment’ ([Pali Text Society’s Pali-English Dictionary]) made from the plant named in Sanskrit tālīśa; tālīśa occurs, perhaps in this meaning (associated with tailam), in Mahāvyutpatti 5787, see s.v. It seems at any rate appro- priate; some oily substance used in decorating a caitya is indicated.]

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.
