Source: Shodhganga: A critical appreciation of soddhalas udayasundarikathaViśvaguṇādarśa (विश्वगुणादर्श) or Viśvaguṇadarśana belongs to Veṅkaṭādhvarin or Veṅkaṭācarya, the son of Raghunātha and Sītāmbā of the Ātreya Gotra. Two Gandharvas, Viśvāvasu and Kṛśānu are supposed to take a bird’s eye view of various countries from their aerial car, the former generous in appreciation of merits, the latter ever censorious in their defects.
This work was intended to expose the faults of the manners and customs of his time. The device of description planned in Viśvaguṇadarśana has been adopted in some later works.

[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.
