Kavya (poetry)
Source: Google Books: Indian Kavya LiteratureMeṇṭha (मेण्ठ) or Bhartṛmeṇṭha is a kavi whose reputation once stood far higher than Mātṛgupta’s among the critics and other kavis. Rājaśekhara (Bālarāmāyaṇa Act I, verse 16) says that the kavi who formerly was Vālmīki later attained the state of being Bhartṛmeṇṭha, then he became Bhavabhūti and now (he flatters himself) he is Rājaśekhara. In other words Meṇṭha belongs among the greatest poets and dramatists, between the author of the Rāmāyaṇa itself and Bhavabhūti.

[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.
