Did you know?
- In classical Sanskrit poetry, the concept of 'outside' is often contrasted with अन्तः, meaning 'inside'. Together, they create a philosophical duality between the inner soul and the external material world.
- In some Sanskrit compounds, बहिः changes its form to बहिर् when it is prefixed to another word. This is a rule called sandhi, which blends sounds to make the language more melodic.
