One can learn Samskritam purely for the sake of the great epics of India.  The Ramayana has 24,000 verses fully in metre and The Mahabharata qualifies as the world's largest epic with 100,000 verses.  Mahaabharata says, "what is here may be elsewhere, what is not here is nowhere."  The conciseness with which the verses convey information on so many different aspects of life in a society, is a factor one must reckon as the ultimate in composition.
