Sanskrit translation:The word in the image is spoken as shan-ku.
Explanation:
It is a word used for skate fish too.
The literal meaning of the word is 'cone'
or anything that is pointed or tapering.
The Sanskrit word for 'skate' as in 'skating' is ' 'हिमविसर्पणपादुका'

If you can let us see the whole sentence,
meaning can be more properly explained as per the context.
