Then he called his excellent emissary Ghasmara and told him everything what the wise preceptor had said to him. He then lovingly honoured the clever emissary (svadūta) in various ways, assured him of protection and sent him to Indra as his messenger. [...]”.

[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.
