Dharmārthas (Dharma=righteousness and artha=wealth) also were born from Śrī. "From the forehead of Viṣṇu, sprung up a golden lotus and His wise spouse Śrī arose there from and oh, Pāṇḍava, righteousness and wealth came into being from Śrī". (Bhāṣābhārata, Śānti Parva, Chapter 59, Stanzas 130 & 131).

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.
