One night while this King was sleeping, some hermits took the form of swans and were flying through the air. One of them saw the radiance of the fame of J膩na艣ruti shining brightly. The other swans said that the fame of Raikva was far greater than this. J膩na艣ruti heard this. He found out Raikva and placed all his wealth at the foot of Raikva and gave him his daughter in marriage.

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.
