(-ttāḥ) The name of a particular class of Pitṛs or Manes. This word is explained by a commentator of the Yajurveda: ‘not tasted by (svātta) i. e. not burnt by fire, not having received the obsequies in conformity with the religious rites’ and it appears therefore as a synonyme of anagnidagdha, as well as the converse of agniṣvātta which, according to the same commentator, would be a synonyme of agnidagdha. Anagniṣvātta does not occur in the list of the Pitṛs which are given in the law books and in the Purāṇas, while agnidagdha and agniṣvātta (qq. vv.) are named there as distinct classes and explained in a different manner. The etymology given, which identifies svātta and svādita, seems moreover objectionable. E. a and agniṣvātta.
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), 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.
