General definition (in Hinduism)
Source: archive.org: Vedic index of Names and SubjectsŚroṇā (श्रोणा, ‘lame’) or Śravaṇa (‘ear’) denotes the bright star α Aquilæ with β below and υ above it. Weber very needlessly thinks that the name Śravaṇa suggested two ears and the head between.

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.
