Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaVyuṣitāśva (व्युषिताश्व).—A King of the Pūru dynasty, who was righteous and just. He performed many sacrifices. His wife was Bhadrā, daughter of King Kakṣīvān. It is said that this Bhadrā was the most beautiful woman in India. As the King led a libidinous life with this queen Bhadrā he met with an untimely death.
When the King died, he had no children. Bhadrā cried for a long while embracing the dead body of the King. Then the spirit of Vyuṣitāśva, without the body, said to her. "My love. Lie with me in your own bed on the eighth or fourteenth day of your menstruation. I will give you sons." She acted according to the wish of the King and got seven sons from the dead body. Her sons were three Satvas and the four Madras. (Mahābhārata Ādi Parva, Chapter 120).

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.
