The Sanskrit language was regulated according to strict grammar rules and used by the learned people from very early times in this polished way. It was in this language that the Great Bharathavarsha’s (India) religious and secular literature from prehistoric times to approximately 1100 A.D was recorded. The Sanskrit language has been found to flourish into main periods – (1) the Vedic period and (2) the Classic period. These periods are the ones that offer us most of the historic records of Sanskrit literature.
The Vedic period lasted between 4000 and 3000 B.C and the Classical Period, which started around 600 B.C., coincided with the last stage of the Vedic period, and almost ended at 1100 A.D. The traditional period extended up to modern times since much literary work has been written in almost all branches, up to today even after A.D. 1100, though these works are mostly in the form of explanation and criticism of previous works.
