In Tulu language, many words are borrowed from Sanskrit language as it is (Tatsama) or with little modification in its pronounciation (Tadbhava). 

Let us see what is Tatsama and Tadbava.

Tatsama: Tatsama are Sanskrit loanwords in modern Indo-Aryan languages and in Dravidian languages.
Tadbhava: Tadbhavas are sanskrit loan word, which undergoes changes in particular language. 

Common changes occur in Tadbhava are ṣa & śa becomes sa and va becomes ba. Tadbhava avoids ṣa sounds by eliminating it or by replacing with sa. Tadbhavas in dravidian languages are modified for the purpose of easy pronounciation. Mahaprana sounds becomes Alpaprana in Tadbhava.
