General definition (in Hinduism)
Source: archive.org: Vedic index of Names and SubjectsTārpya (तार्प्य) denotes, in the Atharvaveda and later, a garment made of some material, the nature of which is uncertain. The commentators on the Kātyāyana Śrauta Sūtra and the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa suggest that a linen garment, or one thrice soaked in ghee, or one made of the tṛpā or of the triparṇa plant, is meant: it is doubtful whether the sense was known even to the author of the Brāhmaṇa himself. Goldstücker’s rendering of the word is ‘silken garment’, which Eggeling is inclined to accept.

[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.
