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.
Hindi dictionary
Payam in Hindi refers in English to:—(nm) a message; ~[mi] a messenger..—payam (पयाम) is alternatively transliterated as Payāma.

Prakrit-English dictionary
Pāyaṃ (पायं) in the Prakrit language is related to the Sanskrit word: Prātas.
Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
