Accordingly, â€�... then the clever woman forged a letter, and showed it to me, saying: ‘The king, my sovereign, has sent me a letter: read itâ€�. Then I opened the letter, and read as follows: ‘The august sovereign of the fortunate KÄmarÅ«pa, ²ÑÄå²Ô²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹, sends thence this order to Sumaá¹…galÄ: “Why do you remain so long absent? Return quickly, dismissing your desire of seeing foreign countriesâ€â€™â€�.

Sanskrit, also spelled संसà¥à¤•ृतमà¥� (²õ²¹á¹ƒs°ìá¹›t²¹³¾), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
