General definition (in Hinduism)
Source: archive.org: Vedic index of Names and SubjectsUdāja (उदाज) is the word used in the Maitrāyaṇī Saṃhitā to denote the share of the booty of war taken by the king after a victory (saṃgrāmaṃ jitvā). This interpretation, which is that of Delbrück, is clearly correct, as against the older version, “march out”, given by von Schroeder and accepted by Böhtlingk. The Udāja thus corresponds precisely with the Homeric “???”. This sense also suits Nirāja, the variant of both the Kāṭhaka and the Kapiṣṭhala Saṃhitās.

[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.

Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
