K峁va, the king who was haughty by the favour of Vi峁ａ箛u, became angry and hit Dadh墨ca on his chest with his thunderbolt. The thunderbolt was incompetent to destroy Dadh墨ca the noble-souled, thanks to the power of lord 艢iva. The son of the creator (K峁va) was greatly surprised. On thus seeing the indestructibility (avadhyatva), absence of distress and adamantine bones of Dadh墨ca the great sage, K峁va, the son of the creator, became surprised at heart鈥�.

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.
