General definition (in Hinduism)
Source: Sanskrit Vimarsah: The Dhruvabhrama-Yantra of PadmanābhaDiksāmya (दिक्साम्य), the agreement between the computed and observed positions of the astral bodies, has always been the ideal of the Indian astronomer. Nīlakaṇṭha Somayājin enjoins that only such astronomical treatises should be followed which agree with actual observations. While astronomical texts of different genres like the Siddhāntas, Karaṇas and Koṣṭhakas help the astronomer to mathematically compute the planetary positions, he has to verify them through direct observation with astronomical instruments (yantras).

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
