Beautiful! It is not actually Sanskrit, it was the Sanskrit which was used in those days by common people. It is like spoken Sanskrit, we call it with different words - Pali, all these words are used to name this language. There are few more names but this is not Sanskrit, it is a common man's language. Sanskrit was used only by pundits. Buddha and Mahāvīra both used the language used by common people. They wanted to reach the common people, they wanted to express the Truth. See, they are not interested in showing themselves as great people, they are interested only in the Truth, so they have worked towards reaching the Truth to more and more people.
