General definition (in Hinduism)

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

Śatāritra (शतारित्र) refers to “a ship of a hundred oars”.—In the Ṛgveda too it is said that the Aśvins rescued Bhujyu in the ocean with a ship of a hundred oars (śatāritra). It is not easy to refuse to recognize here the existence of larger vessels with many oars used for sea voyages. The Baudhāyana-dharma-sūtra, at any rate, clearly refers to maritime navigation.

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.
