General definition (in Hinduism)

Source: archive.org: Vedic index of Names and Subjects

Daśadyu (दशद्यु) is identified with Śvaitreya (son of Śvitrī) according to Ludwig.—Śvaitreya occurs in two passages of the Ṛgveda, where Sāyaṇa sees in the word the name of a man, a “descendant of Śvitrā” The first passage is almost identical with one in the sixth Maṇḍala of the Ṛgveda, where, however, Daśadyu appears alone without Śvaitreya. Ludwig identifies Daśadyu with Śvaitreya (‘son of Śvitrī’), and considers him a son of Kutsa. Bergaigne and Baunack think he is really Bhuyu. Geldner considers that he was a bull used for fighting, the son of a Śvitrā cow, but this is very doubtful, though the term śvaitreya is elsewhere applied to a bull. Śvitrya seems to have the same sense as Śvaitreya.

context information

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.
