Prastāvasadṛśa (प्रस्तावसदृश) refers to “(speaking) befitting the occasion”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.39 (“The gods arrive at Kailāsa”).—Accordingly, as the guests arrived for Śiva’s marriage: “[...] Then all the gods, demons, Nāgas, Pataṅgas, Apsarasas, sages and others approached Śiva and proclaimed jovially. All of them said:—‘O lord, start on journey for wedding the great goddess, the daughter of the mountain, accompanied by us. Be merciful’. Then the omniscient Viṣṇu of joyful mind spoke befitting the occasion (prastāvasadṛśa) after bowing to Śiva with devotion. Viṣṇu said:—‘O lord of the gods, favourite of those who seek refuge in you, please carry out the task of your devotees. O lord, please listen to my submission. [...]’”

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.
