General definition (in Hinduism)
Source: archive.org: Vedic index of Names and SubjectsPṛthi (पृथि) or Pṛthī or Pṛthu is the name of a semi-mythical personage who is mentioned in the Ṛgveda and later as a Ṛṣi, and more specially as the inventor of agriculture and the lord of both worlds, of men and of animals. He bears in several passages the epithet Vainya, ‘descendant of Vena’, and must probably be regarded as a culture hero rather than as a real man. According to other accounts, he was the first of consecrated kings. Cf. Parthiva.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
