The book is Watership Down by Richard Adams. Watership Down is the story of a group of rabbits who grow weary of life in their old warren and run away to search for a new home after they receive a prophecy of death from one of their numbers.
silflay: Go outside/above ground to feed. Also a noun ("Aren't you going to silflay?"), equivalent to dinner or supper, etc. Literally, 'outside'+'food'.
hraka: Droppings or poop, etc. Also used as an oath as in "Hraka!"
Eat Poop is a close approximation.

pretty much "eat sh1t" - it's the crudest insult Richard Adams could come up with in his novel "Watership Down." I think there's another one in there calling someone "Hraka-ra" ("King of sh1t") - neither of these are directly translated in the book :-)

I think it is from "eldest" written by Christopher Paolini. And I think it's from the Dwarf language and it's used to open a door.
