Pariṣvaṅga (परिष्वङ्ग) in the Sanskrit language is related to the Prakrit word: Parisaṃga.

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.
