Energized by (our) radiant power, it abides in the supreme firmament, illumining the surface of the sky (nabhastala) [ca dyotayantaṃ nabhastalam]. It is held in the Sky by the Wind born from the energy of my will. O Kujā, there will be a great Siddha within it born from an aspect of me. He will possess all my qualities, O mistress of the Śrīkula. [...]”.

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.
