On hearing those words, Viṣṇu took us all immediately to the mountain Kailāsa, the favourite haunt of Śiva. After going there in the company of the gods and me, the favourite deity of the gods (suravallabha) went to the excellent resort of Śiva with a desire to see Śiva. [...]”.

[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.
