INTRODUCTION Introduction about Sanskrit language. Sanskrit, the etymology Ä           The etymological meaning of Sanskrit is pure. It is derived from the root sama\ + Ì by adding suffix t to it. But, while adding suffix t  an augment sa\ comes in between the prefix and the root. For instance, sama\ + Ì sama\ + Ì + t sama\ + sa\ + Ì + t sama\ sÌt saMsÌt         An augment sa\ carries a great significance because of which the word gets a positive, good and praising meaning. The word like sausaMsÌtÊ saMskarÊ saMskrNa etc. are derived in the same manner. Due to the absence of this augment, the words like saMÌtÊ saMkrÊ saMkar gets negative meaning.           Hence, now it is understood that the meaning of the word saMsÌt is nicely done, purified which does not have any single grammatical error. So, the word saMsÌt is an adjective or a participle. The word has gained a form of a proper noun, when it is given to the world’s ancient language which is now known as Sanskrit Language. As far as the etymology points out, it is neither a language of any cast, creed, religion nor a language of any particular region, district, country. It is the language of humanity.
