Saṃdīptā (संदीप्ता) refers to “infused with” or “bearing (a symbol)” (e.g., ‘a flag bearing a particular symbol’), according to the Jayadrathayāmala 2.19.—Accordingly, “Recollect the eternal (nityā) Kālarātrī, who is very horrific. Her face is black (kālavaktrā) and she instills fear. She is adorned with a flag bearing an owl (ulūka-dhvaja-saṃdīptā). Naked, she is very fierce. Transported by that (owl) and naked, she eats blood”.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
