Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasṢaṭṣaṣṭi (षट्षष्टि) refers to modern Salsette and is a village mentioned in the “Bhāṇḍup plates of Chittarāja (Cittarāja)”.—The filed which was granted to Āmadevaiya was situated in the village of Noura, now Novāhar, belonging to the viṣaya or tābukā of Ṣaṭshaṣṭi, the modern Salsette, and included in Śrīsthānaka or Ṭhāṇā.
These plates (mentioning Ṣaṭṣaṣṭi) were found on the land belonging to Mr. Hormusji C. Ashburner at Bhāṇḍup in the island of Bombay. The object of it is to record the grant, by Cittarāja, of a field belonging to Voḍaṇibhaṭṭa in the village of Noura to the Brāhmaṇa Āmadevaiya. The grant is dated on Sunday, the fifteenth tithi of the bright fortnight of Kārttika in the Śaka year 948, the cyclic year being Kṣaya, on the occasion of a solar eclipse.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
