Attentive, assiduous; (according to Yāska: aprāyuvaḥ = apramādyantaḥ, Mahīdhara: = anālasāḥ; but Sāyaṇa gives to this word in one verse the meaning: not going forth, not leaving: = apragacchantaḥ; while in another he admits also of the former meaning, which seems more congenial with the context).

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
