Prātaḥkṛtya (प्रातःकृत्य) refers to the “morning routine”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.52 (“The bridegroom’s party is fed and Śiva retires to bed”).—Accordingly, after Śiva spoke to Dharma: “Thus addressed by Śiva, he returned to the audience hall. The lord Śiva too wanted to go. On coming to know of it the ladies came enthusiastically. With their eyes fixed on the feet of Śiva, they sang auspicious songs. Śiva then, in accordance with the worldly customs, went through his morning routine (prātaḥkṛtya). He took leave of Menā and the mountain and went to the audience hall. [...]”.

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.
