"...The word SANSKRIT literally means 'perfected,' 'polished,' and it is a sophisticated language, based upon a complex system of roots and derivations. The entire Sanskrit language, including root lists and derivations, we described in amazing detail...by the Indian grammatical genius Panini, who demonstrated that the majority of Sanskrit words can be derived from a fixed number of roots...But though Sanskrit is a refined and literary language, it is also capable of communicating in a direct practical manner the important facts of the spiritual life. Not only poets but the most practical saints have been devoted to Sanskrit..."
