In Hinduism
Kavya (poetry)
: archive.org: Naisadhacarita of Sriharsaīٳⲹ (तीर्थ्�) is a word similar to īٳ첹 which refers to a “follower of a religion or a sect�, as mentioned in the Naiṣadha-carita 17.50, 103.—In 17.50 the Cārvāka addresses the adherents of the orthodox faith as īٳ첹. [...] Laṅkāvatārasūtra uses the words īٳⲹ and Tīrthakara in a similar sense. As pointed out by the editors, the word īٳⲹ (Tīrthakara) generally means “non-Buddhists�, who often turn out to be followers of the Brahmanical schools. The Buddhists thus use the words īٳ첹, īٳⲹ and Tīrthakara to signify the adherents o f non-Buddhist, especially Brahmanical, schools of thought, as distinguished from the members of their own faith, the Svayūthyas, as they are called in the Bodhicaryāvatārapañjikā.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), 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.
