Sastra

sastra (Sanskrit: "Sacred text; teaching.") is used to denote education/knowledge in a general sense.

For example, Astra Sastra means, knowledge about "Handling of weapons", Astra means weapons, and sastra is their knowledge.

Sastra is also a by-word used when referring to a scripture. Extending this meaning, the sastra is commonly used to mean a treatise or text written in explanation of some idea, especially in matters involving religion.
