I saw somewhere that the Sarmatians had lively contact with India. That means they may have fed 'new' or substrate words to India too, where learned Sansrit experts were ready to re-sanskritize such loans from Iranian (they liked to do that). It annoys me to find again and again words I thought were NWEuropean, which fulfill every criterion, popping up in Sanskrit.
