Mandha (“village common or herd”) is one of the exogamous septs (divisions) among the Karna Sales (a caste of Telugu weavers). The Karna Sale are called Seniyans in the Tamil country, e.g., at Madura and Tanjore. The name Karna would seem to have its origin in the legend relating to the Karnabattus (both Saivites and Vaishnavites). They are said to have only one gotra, Kasi (Benares), and numerous exogamous septs (e.g., Mandha).

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.
