General definition (in Hinduism)
Source: archive.org: Vedic index of Names and SubjectsSālāvṛkī (सालावृकी) is the feminine form of Sālāvṛka, which is found twice in the Rigveda apparently denoting the ‘hyaena’ or ‘wild dog’. This sense also seems appropriate in the later narrative of the destruction of the Yatis by Indra, who is said to have handed them over to the Sālāvṛkas. Sālāvṛkeya is a variant form of the same word, meaning literally ‘descendant of a Sālāvṛka’. The feminine is Sālāvṛkī, but in the Taittirīya-saṃhitā it appears as Salāvṛkī. Cf. Tarakṣu.

[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.
