In the Gupta period, the languages used by the people of low society level and women was prakrit. The word, derived from its Indian root "Parikrit", itself has a flexible definition, being defined sometime as, "original, natural, artless, normal, ordinary, usual", or "vernacular", in contrast to the literary and religious orthodoxy of sanskrita.
