(-ṭaḥ) The saint Agastya. E. vindhya the mountain, and kūṭ to give pain, aff. ka, or with yuc aff. vindhyakūṭana; Vind'hya the personified mountain, having once prostrated himself before Agastya his spiritual guide, was ordered by the saint to remain in that posture, as a punishment for the presumption, which had induced him to attempt rivalling the heighth of Meru and Himalaya. The legend appears to originate in the little elevation of the Vind'hya-chain compared with its extent.

[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.
