His pupils were Hiraṇyanābha and Pauṣyañji, besides an Āvantya: Had 500 disciples from the north and a good number from the east.1 The story goes that as he taught the saṃhitas on anadhyayana days, Indra killed his pupils.

[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.
