Vinirjaya (विनिर्जय) refers to “wishing to defeat (the gods)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.14 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, as Vṛndā was married to Jalandhara: “[...] Kālanemi and other Asuras were pleased after giving the daughter in marriage to the son of the ocean. In order to defeat (vinirjaya) the gods they resorted to him. The heroic son of the ocean, Jalandhara, foremost among the Asura warriors, received a very beautiful lady as his wife and he ruled over the kingdom with the support of Śukra”.

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.
