I was surprised to see that some Aramaic (Syriac) words are derived from Sanskrit.
e.g. the Syriac word for 'idol' has been derived from 'pratikrita' which means 'false/fake' image.
Unfortunately, the SEDRA3 library, does not contain such references, just 'latin' and 'greek' but not 'sanskrit'.
Who knows more sanskrit words in the NT?
(Another striking similarity is 'Satana', which in Sanskrit means 'fallen one'. I really WONDER how it is possible, that such Biblical words exist in an ancient Indian language)
