Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryŚruṇana (श्रुणन).—(nt.), dat.-inf. °nāya (to śruṇati = Sanskrit śṛṇoti), for hearing, in order to hear: yo gacchate… śruṇanāya (so LaV-P. JRAS 1911.1072, for text śravaṇāya, no v.l.) dharmaṃ imam evarūpam Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 252.10 (verse); WT keep śravaṇāya but cite their ms. Ḱ as śruṇārtha (which would be good metrically, but looks like a half-hearted ‘correction’ of śruṇanāya).
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.
