Sānūpa (सानूप) refers to “marshy lands” (suitable for tracking footprints), according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, “Hunting by the observation of footprints (padaprekṣā) is that in which animals are tracked by their footprints and killed. It is of two kinds: [śvapadaprekṣikā and pūrvaśabdita] [...] These two kinds of hunting succeed greatly in sandy deserts or in marshy lands (sānūpa) in the rainy season and in others with the greatest trouble”.

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.
