- 1987, Pramananda Jha, Mahākavikālidāsakāvyeṣu prakṛtiviśleṣaṇam, page 35:
  ...संस्कृतभाषा प्रारम्भे "भाषा" नाम्ना कथ्यतेस्म पश्चाच्च देवभाषा इति शब्देनाभिहिताऽभवत्
  ...saṃskṛtabhāṣā prārambhe "bhāṣā" nāmnā kathyatesma paścācca devabhāṣā iti śabdenābhihitāʼbhavat

- Sārasvatī-sushamā, volume 51, Vārāṇaseya Saṃskṛta Viśvavidyālaya, 1996, page 305: “...तेषां संव्यवहारे प्रयुज्यमाना भाषा देवभाषा ― the language they use for their business is Sanskrit”

  एषा देवभाषा यथा प्राचीनतमा तथैव समृद्धतमा च
  eṣā devabhāṣā yathā prācīnatamā tathaiva samṛddhatamā ca
  This Sanskrit language is as perfect as it is ancient.
