The word Annana in Prakrit stands for both Ignorance or false knowledge and dowry.
The word Anna means water or the life giving jal. Perhaps what annana denotes is an absence of the lifegiving water which is annana – both the act of giving dowry and the act of holding on to false knowledge or ignorance. If we don’t study Prakrit how can we ever understand what secrets the Indic was holding dear in its words and languages?
