Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaŚaralomā (शरलोमा).—A maharṣi, the father of Dāśūra. Vasiṣṭha once told Śrī Rāma the story of Dāśūra to prove that the world is all an illusion.
Dāśūra was the only son of Śaralomā, a muni, who performed tapas in the plains of the mountain in Magadha. Dāśūra too did tapas in another part of the mountain. While the father and the son were living happily the father entered samādhi and the son wept over the loss of his father. Then a forest-nymph comforted him with celestial advice. (See full article at Story of Śaralomā from the Puranic encyclopaedia by Vettam Mani)

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.
