   • 2017, Bhāratodayaḥ - Volume 93, page 10:

     ...भारतस्य च प्रत्येक प्रदेशेऽद्यापि संस्कृतज्ञानाम् अभावो नास्ति।

     ...bhāratasya ca pratyeka pradeśeʼdyāpi saṃskṛtajñānām abhāvo nāsti.

     And in each of India's state, there is no lack of pundits .

   • 1999, चमू कृष्ण शास्त्री, सङ्क्रमणम्, page 67:

     ...वयं संस्कृतज्ञाः अभिमानिनः वा 'संस्कृतं भारतस्य सम्पर्कभाषा भवेत्' इति सभासु भाषणेषु अभियाचनां कुर्मः।

     ...vayaṃ saṃskṛtajñāḥ abhimāninaḥ vā 'saṃskṛtaṃ bhāratasya samparkabhāṣā bhavet' iti sabhāsu bhāṣaṇeṣu abhiyācanāṃ kurmaḥ.

     We, proud or pundits, propose in meetings and speeches, that Sanskrit be India's communication-language.

   • 1995, Sāhitya-sauhityam: Śrīkāntarāmakiśorīyam abhinandana-granthah, page 264:

     ...अतः संस्कृत-भाषायाः प्रचाराय प्रसाराय च संस्कृतज्ञाः संस्कृतमाश्रित्यैव व्यवहरेयुः।

     ...ataḥ saṃskṛta-bhāṣāyāḥ pracārāya prasārāya ca saṃskṛtajñāḥ saṃskṛtamāśrityaiva vyavahareyuḥ.

     Hence, for spreading and promoting Sanskrit, pundits should deal or act, speak, only using or speaking Sanskrit.
