: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation础辫补产丑谤补峁兣沘 (啶呧お啶啶班啶�) refers to a lauguage, according to the 艢ivapur膩峁嘺 2.5.4 (鈥淭he Tripuras are initiated).鈥擜ccordingly, as Vi峁ａ箛u said to his self-created Puru峁: 鈥淸...] O you who wield M膩y膩, create a deceptive sacred text of sixteen hundred thousand verses, contrary to 艢rutis and Sm峁泃is wherein Var峁嘺s and 膧艣ramas shall be eschewed. Let that holy text be in 础辫补产丑谤补峁兣沘 lauguage. Let there be emphasis on actions. You shall strain yourself to extend it further. I shall bestow on you the ability to create it.

India history and geography
: Singhi Jain Series: Ratnaprabha-suri鈥檚 Kuvalayamala-katha (history)Apabhramsha refers to one of the four major languages prevalent in ancient India, according to the 8th-century Kuvalayam膩l膩 written by Uddyotanas奴ri, a Prakrit Camp奴 (similar to K膩vya poetry) narrating the love-story between Prince Candr膩p墨岣峚 and the Apsaras K膩dambar墨.鈥擳here is a mention of four major languages, namely, Sanskrit, Prakrit, Apabhramsha and Paishachi; and during the 8th century, vast body of Apabhramsha literature appears to have been already produced. The Paishachi language seems to have been represented by the B峁沨atkath膩 which had survived in its original form upto the time of Uddyotanas奴ri. This appears to be very probable since the original Pai艣膩c墨 B峁沨atkath膩 was known to K峁mendra who based his Sanskrit version on it.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.

Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), 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.
