In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDārumaya (दारुमय) refers to “(nooses) made of timber”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.24 (“Śiva consents to marry Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Viṣṇu: “[...] Anyone bound with nooses of iron and timber [i.e., loha-dārumaya] can secure release but one bound with nooses of women never frees oneself. Worldly enjoyment tightens the bondage. Salvation is inaccessible to a man drawn to worldly enjoyment even in his dream. If he wishes for happiness, an intelligent man shall duly forsake all worldly pleasures. Worldly enjoyment that dooms persons is on a par with poison. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: Dhiti blog: The Navakalevara Ceremony at PuriDārumaya (दारुमय) refers to the “wooden from” (of Jagannātha) (symbolizing the “cutting of the miseries of the world” and “imparting eternal bliss”), according to the Puruṣottama-māhātmya of the Skanda-purāṇa.—Accordingly, Jagannātha is made of dāru (wood) because a dāru image cuts up the miseries of the world and imparts eternal bliss. The text also profoundly states that in reality, the Lord of the Universe is neither made of wood nor stone, and that He assumes these forms or arcāvatāras merely to delude the world. The beloved god Jagannath acquired a wooden form (dārurūpa, dārumaya) after Śrī Kṛṣṇa himself promised devotees that he would be reincarnated in a wooden form in the Kaliyuga. This divine promise is elaborated upon in the sthala-purāṇa of the kṣetra—[...]
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).

[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.
