At that very moment the earth shook (bhūmicala); there was thunder and lightning and a rain of flowers fell from the sky”.

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.

Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit.

The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
