Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopedia

Tugra (तुग्र).—A King extolled in the Ṛgveda. This King sent his son Bhujyu with a large army by sea to conquer his enemies in dvīpāntara. When they were a long distance away from the shore the boats carrying them capsized in a storm and the prince and army were drowned in the sea. The prince then prayed to the A vinīdevas and they saved him and his army from the sea and sent them back to the palace. Those boats could travel both in the sea and the air. (Sūkta 116, Maṇḍala 1, Ṛgveda, Anuvāka 17).

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.
