General definition (in Hinduism)
Source: archive.org: Vedic index of Names and SubjectsKakuha (ककुह) refers to a word occurring several times in the Ṛgveda, is understood by Roth to designate part of a chariot, perhaps the seat. Ludwig, again, regards it in one passage as the proper name of a Yādava prince who took spoil from Tirindira, the Parśu, but this view is hardly probable. It is, on the whole, most likely that the word always means ‘chief,’ ‘pre-eminent’, being applied as an epithet to horses, chariots, princes, etc. ([...] and often in the older form kakubha). This is the only sense given by Grassmann, and later adopted by Roth.

[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.
