Sanskrit is not just a language but a cultured one. Renowned as the language of the gods, Sanskrit serves as the parent language for several others, including Prakrit, Pali, Apabhramsha, and Hindi. Within its realm, it holds not only Vedic literature connected to ancient deities but also encompasses a worldly literature that aptly portrays the moral, religious, mythological, and cultural aspects of society.

During the Shravani Upakarma ceremony held at the Ved Vidyalaya of the Arshavidya Shikshan Prashikshan Seva Sansthan in Maharshinagar on Thursday, Principal Sushil Kumar Pandey shed light on the significance of Sanskrit on the occasion of Sanskrit Day.
