Sanskrit (संस्कृतम् saṃskṛtam [sə̃skɹ̩t̪əm], originally संस्कृता वाक् saṃskṛtā vāk, "refined speech"), is a historical Indo-Aryan language, the primary liturgical language of Hinduism and a literary and scholarly language in Jainism and Buddhism. Today, it is listed as one of the 22 scheduled languages of India and is an official language of the state of Uttarakhand. Sanskrit holds a prominent position in Indo-European studies.
Classical Sanskrit is the standard register as laid out in the grammar of Pāṇini, around the 4th century BCE. Its position in the cultures of Greater India is akin to that of Latin and Greek in Europe and it has significantly influenced most modern languages of the Indian subcontinent, particularly in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal.
The pre-Classical form of Sanskrit is known as Vedic Sanskrit, with the language of the Rigveda being the oldest and most archaic stage preserved, its oldest core dating back to as early as 1500 BCE. This qualifies Rigvedic Sanskrit as one of the oldest attestations of any Indo-Iranian language, and one of the earliest attested members of the Indo-European language family, the family which includes English and most European languages.
All in a day, forcing us, moving us, changing us, soothing us
And in a way, playing your scene right up on the screen like it's yesterday
Yesterday's gone and it's better that way
All in a day, written in Sanskrit again
We are the souls outside and all divided
Without a doubt, we've found all undecided
Here in this age, ripping us, bruising us, stripping us, using us
Time like a cage, rattling the bars, falling like stars
Words on a page, meaningless, dreamingless, seemingless
Here in this age, to be written in Sanskrit again
We are the souls outside and all divided
Without a doubt, we've found all undecided
We are the souls outside and all divided
Without a doubt, we've found all undecided
[Incomprehensible]
All in a day, forcing us, moving us, changing us, soothing us
And in a way, playing your scene right up on the screen like it's yesterday
Yesterday's gone and it's better that way
