Source of nirvana? (8)

I believe the answer is:

sanskrit

(Other definitions for sanskrit that I've seen before include "Ancient Hindu tongue" , "Ancient language of Hindus in India" , "Ancient Indian language" , "Ancient Indo-European language" , "Ancient official language of India" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
