General definition (in Hinduism)
Source: archive.org: Vedic index of Names and Subjects1) Jūrṇi (जूर्णि, ‘firebrand’) is regarded by Zimmer as one of the weapons of the Vedic Indians. But since it is only mentioned in the Rigveda as a weapon used by demons, its employment in normal war cannot be safely assumed.
2) Jūrṇī (जूर्णी) is one of the names given to serpents in a hymn of the Atharvaveda (ii. 24, 5), perhaps from their habit of casting their slough. See Ahi.

[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.
