Vasu-deva, who was a descendant of Yadu andﾠ Yayāti, had two wives, Rohiṇī andﾠ Devakī;
the latter had eight sons of whom the eighth was Kṛishṇa;
Kaṇsa, king of Mathurā andﾠ cousin of Devakī, was informed by a prediction that one of these sons would kill him;
he therefore kept Vasu-deva andﾠ his wife in confinement, andﾠ slew their first six children;
the seventh was Balarāma who was saved by being abstracted from the womb of Devakī andﾠ transferred to that of Rohiṇī;
the eighth was Kṛishṇa who was born with black skin andﾠ a peculiar mark on his breast;
his father Vasu-deva managed to escape from Mathurā with the child, andﾠ favoured by the gods found a herdsman named Nanda whose wife Yaṡo-dā had just been delivered of a son which Vasu-deva conveyed to Devakī after substituting his own in its place
Nanda with his wife Yaṡo-dā took the infant Kṛishṇa andﾠ settled first in Gokula orﾠ Vraja, andﾠ afterwards in Vṛindāvana, where Kṛishṇa andﾠ Bala-rāma grew up together, roaming in the woods andﾠ joining in the sports of the herdsmen's sons;
Kṛishṇa as a youth contested the sovereignty of Indra, andﾠ was victorious over that god, who descended from heaven to praise Kṛishṇa, andﾠ made him lord over the cattle Hariv. 3787 ff.; 7456 ff. VP. ;
Kṛishṇa is described as sporting constantly with the Gopīs orﾠ shepherdesses Hariv. 4078 ff.; 8301 ff. VP. Gīt. ;
of whom a thousand became his wives, though only eight are specified, Rādhā being the favourite Hariv. 6694 ff.; 9177 ff. VP. ;
Kṛishṇa built andﾠ fortified a city called Dvārakā in Gujarāt, andﾠ thither transported the inhabitants of Mathurā after killing Kaṇsa;
Kṛishṇa had various wives besides the Gopīs, andﾠ by Rukmiṇī had a son Pradyumna who is usually identified with Kāma-deva;

veda

N. of certain celebrated works which constitute the basis of the first period of the Hindū religion (these works were primarily three, viz.
1. the Ṛig-veda,
2. the Yajur-veda
<of which there are, however, two divisions seeﾠ taittirīya-saṉhitā, vājasaneyi-saṉhitā>,
3. the Sāma-veda;
these three works are sometimes called collectively trayī,
« the triple Vidyā» orﾠ « threefold knowledge», but the Ṛig-veda is really the only original work of the three, andﾠ much the most ancient
<the oldest of its hymns being assigned by some who rely on certain astronomical calculations to a period between 4000 andﾠ 2500 B.C., before the settlement of the Āryans in India;
andﾠ by others who adopt a different reckoning to a period between 1400 andﾠ 1000 B.C., when the Āryans had settled down in the Panjāb>;
subsequently a fourth Veda was added, called the Atharva-veda, which was probably not completely accepted till after Manu, as his law-book often speaks of the three Vedas-calling them trayambrahmasanātanam, « the triple eternal Veda»,
but only once XI, 33 mentions the revelation made to Atharvan andﾠ Aṇgiras, without, however, calling it by the later name of Atharva-veda;
each of the four Vedas has two distinct parts,
viz. 1. Mantra, i.e. words of prayer andﾠ adoration often addressed either to fire orﾠ to some form of the sun orﾠ to some form of the air, sky, wind etc.,
andﾠ praying for health, wealth, long life, cattle, offspring, victory, andﾠ even forgiveness of sins, andﾠ 2. Brāhmaṇa, consisting of Vidhi andﾠ Artha-vāda,
i.e. directions for the detail of the ceremonies at which the Mantras were to be used andﾠ explanations of the legends etc. connected with the Mantras
< seeﾠ brāhmaṇa, vidhi>, both these portions being termed ṡruti, revelation orally communicated by the Deity, andﾠ heard but not composed orﾠ written down by men <cf. I. W. 24 etc.. >,
although it is certain that both Mantras andﾠ Brāhmaṇas were compositions spread over a considerable period, much of the latter being comparatively modern;
as the Vedas are properly three, so the Mantras are properly of three forms,
1. Ṛic, which are verses of praise in metre, andﾠ intended for loud recitation;
2. Yajus, which are in prose, andﾠ intended for recitation in a lower tone at sacrifices;
3. Sāman., which are in metre, andﾠ intended for chanting at the Soma orﾠ Moon-plant ceremonies, the Mantras of the fourth orﾠ Atharva-veda having no special name;
but it must be borne in mind that the Yajur andﾠ Sāma-veda hymns, especially the latter, besides their own Mantras, borrow largely from the Ṛig-veda;
the Yajur-veda andﾠ Sāma-veda being in fact not so much collections of prayers andﾠ hymns as special prayer- andﾠ hymn-books intended as manuals for the Adhvaryu andﾠ Udgātṛi priests respectively < seeﾠ yajur-veda, sāma-veda>;
the Atharva-veda, on the other hand, is, like the Ṛig-veda, a real collection of original hymns mixed up with incantations, borrowing little from the Ṛig andﾠ having no direct relation to sacrifices, but supposed by mere recitation to produce long life, to cure diseases, to effect the ruin of enemies etc.;
each of the four Vedas seems to have passed through numerous Ṡākhās orﾠ schools, giving rise to various recensions of the text, though the Ṛig-veda is only preserved in the Ṡākala recension, while a second recension, that of the Bhāshkalas, is only known by name;
a tradition makes Vyāsa the compiler andﾠ arranger of the Vedas in their present form:
they each have an Index orﾠ Anukramaṇī <q.v.>, the principal work of this kind being the general Index orﾠ Sarvânukramaṇī <q.v.>;
out of the Brāhmaṇa portion of the Veda grew two other departments of Vedic literature, sometimes included under the general name Veda,
viz. the strings of aphoristic rules, called Sūtras <q.v.>,
andﾠ the mystical treatises on the nature of God andﾠ the relation of soul andﾠ matter, called Upanishad. <q.v.>, which were appended to the Āraṇyakas <q.v.>, andﾠ became the real Veda of thinking Hindūs, leading to the Darṡanas orﾠ systems of philosophy;
in the later literature the name of « fifth Veda» is accorded to the Itihāsas orﾠ legendary epic poems andﾠ to the Purāṇas, andﾠ certain secondary Vedas orﾠ Upa-vedas <q.v.> are enumerated;
the Vedâṇgas orﾠ works serving as limbs < for preserving the integrity> of the Veda are explained under vedâ̱ṅga below:
the only other works included under the head of Veda being the Pariṡishṭas, which supply rules for the ritual omitted in the Sūtras;
in the Bṛihad-āraṇyaka Upanishad. the Vedas are represented as the breathings of Brahmā., while in some of the Purāṇas the four Vedas are said to have issued out of the four mouths of the four-faced Brahmā. andﾠ in the Vishṇu-Purāṇa the Veda andﾠ Vishṇu are identified) RTL. 7 etc..

« The Auspicious one»
N. of the disintegrating orﾠ destroying andﾠ reproducing deity (who constitutes the third god of the Hindū Trimūrti orﾠ Triad, the other two being Brahmā. « the creator» andﾠ Vishṇu « the preserver» ;
in the Veda the only N. of the destroying deity wss Rudra « the terrible god»,
but in later times it became usual to give that god the euphemistic N. Ṡiva « the auspicious» <just as the Furies were called Eὐμενίδες « the gracious ones» >, andﾠ to assign him the office of creation andﾠ reproduction as well as dissolution;
in fact the preferential worship of Ṡiva as developed in the Purāṇas andﾠ Epic poems led to his being identified with the Supreme Being by his exclusive worshippers < called Ṡaivas>;
in his character of destroyer he is sometimes called Kāla « black», andﾠ is then alsoﾠ identified with Time, although his active destroying function is then oftener assigned to his wife under her name Kālī, whose formidable character makes her a general object of propitiation by sacrifices;
as presiding over reproduction consequent on destruction Ṡiva's symbol is the Liṇga <q.v.> orﾠ Phallus, under which form he is worshipped all over India at the present day;
again one of his representations is as Ardha-nārī, « half-female», the other half being male to symbolize the unity of the generative principle RTL. 85 ;
he has three eyes, one of which is in his forehead, andﾠ which are thought to denote his view of the three divisions of time, past, present, andﾠ future, while a moon's crescent, above the central eye, marks the measure of time by months, a serpent round his neck the measure by years,
andﾠ a second necklace of skulls with other serpents about his person, the perpetual revolution of ages, andﾠ the successive extinction andﾠ generation of the races of mankind:
his hair is thickly matted together, andﾠ gathered above his forehead into a coil;
on the top of it he bears the Ganges, the rush of which in its descent from heaven he intercepted by his head that the earth might not be crushed by the weight of the falling stream;
his throat is dark-blue from the stain of the deadly poison which would have destroyed the world had it not been swallowed by him on its production at the churning of the ocean by the gods for the nectar of immortality;
he holds a tri-ṡūla, orﾠ three-pronged trident < alsoﾠ called Pināka> in his hand to denote, as some think, his combination of the three attributes of Creator, Destroyer, andﾠ Regenerator;
he alsoﾠ carries a kind of drum, shaped like an hour-glass, called Ḍamaru:
his attendants orﾠ servants are called Pramatha <qq.vv.>;
they are regarded as demons orﾠ supernatural beings of different kinds, andﾠ form various hosts orﾠ troops called Gaṇas;
his wife Durgā <otherwise called Kālī, Pārvatī, Umā, Gaurī, Bhavāṇī etc.> is the chief object of worship with the Ṡāktas andﾠ Tāntrikas, andﾠ in this connection he is fond of dancing < seeﾠ tāṇḍava> andﾠ wine-drinking;
he is alsoﾠ worshipped as a great ascetic andﾠ is said to have scorched the god of love (Kāma-deva) to ashes by a glance from his central eye, that deity having attempted to inflame him with passion for Pārvatī whilst he was engaged in severe penance;
in the exercise of his function of Universal Destroyer he is fabled to have burnt up the Universe andﾠ all the gods, including Brahmā. andﾠ Vishṇu, by a similar scorching glance,
andﾠ to have rubbed the resulting ashes upon his body, whence the use of ashes in his worship, while the use of the Rudrâksha berries originated, it is said, from the legend that Ṡiva,
on his way to destroy the three cities, called Tri-pura, let fall some tears of rage which became converted into these beads:
his residence orﾠ heaven is Kailāsa, one of the loftiest northern peaks of the Himâlaya;
he has strictly no incarnations like those of Vishṇu, though Vīra-bhadra andﾠ the eight Bhairavas andﾠ Khaṇḍo-bā etc. RTL. 266 are sometimes regarded as forms of him;
he is especially worshipped at Benares andﾠ has even more names than Vishṇu,
one thousand andﾠ eight being specified in the 69th chapter of the Ṡiva-Purāṇa andﾠ in the 17th chapter of the Anuṡāsana-parvan of the Maha-bhārata, some of the most common being Mahā-deva, Ṡambhu, Ṡaṃkara, Īṡa, Īṡvara, Mahêṡvara, Hara;
his sons are Gaṇêṡa andﾠ Kārttikeya) ĀṡvṠr. MBh. Kāv. etc.. RTL. 73 ;

rudra


others « strong, having orﾠ bestowing strength orﾠ power», fr. a rud = vṛid, vṛidh;
native authorities give alsoﾠ the following meanings, « driving away evil» ;
« running about andﾠ roaring», fr. ru + dra = 2. dru;
« praiseworthy, to be praised» ;
« a praiser, worshipper» = stotṛi Naigh. III, 16);
m. « Roarer orﾠ Howler»
N. of the god of tempests andﾠ father andﾠ ruler of the Rudras andﾠ Maruts
(in the Veda he is closely connected with Indra andﾠ still more with Agni, the god of fire, which, as a destroying agent, rages andﾠ crackles like the roaring storm, andﾠ alsoﾠ with Kāla orﾠ Time the all-consumer, with whom he is afterwards identified;
though generally represented as a destroying deity, whose terrible shafts bring death orﾠ disease on men andﾠ cattle, he has alsoﾠ the epithet ṡiva, « benevolent» orﾠ « auspicious», andﾠ is even supposed to possess healing powers from his chasing away vapours andﾠ purifying the atmosphere;
in the later mythology the word ṡiva, which does not occur as a name in the Veda, was employed, first as an euphemistic epithet andﾠ then as a real name for Rudra, who lost his special connection with storms andﾠ developed into a form of the disintegrating andﾠ reintegrating principle;
while a new class of beings, described as eleven < orﾠ thirty-three> in number, though still called Rudras, took the place of the original Rudras orﾠ Maruts:
in VP. I, 7, Rudra is said to have sprung from Brahmā. 's forehead, andﾠ to have afterwards separated himself into a figure half male andﾠ half female, the former portion separating again into the 11 Rudras,
hence these later Rudras are sometimes regarded as inferior manifestations of Ṡiva, andﾠ most of their names, which are variously given in the different Purāṇas, are alsoﾠ names of Ṡiva;
those of the VāyuP. are Ajai ͡kapad, Ahir-budhnya, Hara, Nirṛita, Īṡvara, Bhuvana, Aṇgāraka, Ardha-ketu, Mṛityu, Sarpa, Kapālin;
accord. toﾠ others the Rudras are represented as children of Kaṡyapa andﾠ Surabhi orﾠ of Brahmā. andﾠ Surabhi orﾠ of Bhūta andﾠ Su-rūpā;
accord. toﾠ VP. I, 8, Rudra is one of the 8 forms of Ṡiva;
elsewhere he is reckoned among the Dik-pālas as regent of the north-east quarter) RV. etc. etc. (cf. RTL. 75 etc..);
N. of the number « eleven» (from the 11 Rudras) VarBṛS. ;
the eleventh Cat. ;
(in astrol.) N. of the first Muhūrta;
(in music) of a kind of stringed instrument (cf. rudrī andﾠ rudra-vīṇā);

víshṇu

although Vishṇu comes second in the triad he is identified with the supreme deity by his worshippers;
in the Vedic period, however, he is not placed in the foremost rank, although he is frequently invoked with other gods <esp. with Indra whom he assists in killing Vṛitra andﾠ with whom he drinks the Soma juice;
cf. his later names Indrânuja andﾠ Upêndra>;
as distinguished from the other Vedic deities, he is a personification of the light andﾠ of the sun, esp. in his striding over the heavens, which he is said to do in three paces
< seeﾠ tri-vikrama andﾠ cf. bali, vāmana>, explained as denoting the threefold manifestations of light in the form of fire, lightning, andﾠ the sun, orﾠ as designating the three daily stations of the sun in his rising, culminating, andﾠ setting;
Vishṇu does not appear to have been included at first among the Ādityas <q.v.>, although in later times he is accorded the foremost place among them;
in the Brāhmaṇas he is identified with sacrifice, andﾠ in one described as a dwarf;
in the Mahā-bhārata andﾠ Rāmayaṇa he rises to the supremacy which in some places he now enjoys as the most popular deity of modern Hindū worship;
the great rivalry between him andﾠ Ṡiva <cf. vaishṇava andﾠ ṡaiva> is not fully developed till the period of the Purāṇas:
the distinguishing feature in the character of the Post-vedic Vishṇu is his condescending to become incarnate in a portion of his essence on ten principal occasions, to deliver mankind from certain great dangers <cf. avatāra andﾠ IW. 327 >;
some of the Purāṇas make 22 incarnations, orﾠ even 24, instead of 10;
the Vaishṇavas regard Vishṇu as the supreme being, andﾠ often identify him with Nārāyaṇa, the personified Purusha orﾠ primeval living spirit <described as moving on the waters, reclining on Ṡesha, the serpent of infinity, while the god Brahmā. emerges from a lotus growing from his navel;
cf. Manu I, 10 >;
the wives of Vishṇu are Aditi andﾠ Sinīvālī, later Lakshmī orﾠ Ṡrī andﾠ even Sarasvatī;
his son is Kāma-deva, god of love, andﾠ his paradise is called Vaikuṇṭha;
he is usually represented with a peculiar mark on his breast called Ṡrī-vatsa, andﾠ as holding a ṡaṅkha, orﾠ conch-shell called Pāñcajanya, a cakra orﾠ quoit-like missile-weapon called Su-darṡana, a gadā orﾠ club called Kaumodakī andﾠ a padma orﾠ lotus;
he has alsoﾠ a bow called Ṡārṇga, andﾠ a sword called Nandaka;
his vāhana orﾠ vehicle is Garuḍa q.v.;
he has a jewel on his wrist called Syamantaka, another on his breast called Kaustubha, andﾠ the river Ganges is said to issue from his foot;
the demons slain by him in his character of « preserver from evil»,
orﾠ by Kṛishṇa as identified with him, are Madhu, Dhenuka, Cāṇūra, Yamala, andﾠ Arjuna < seeﾠ yamalâ̱rjuna>, Kāla-nemi, Haya-grīva, Ṡakaṭa, Arishṭa, Kaiṭabha, Kaṇsa, Keṡin, Mura, Ṡālva, Mainda, Dvi-vida, Rāhu, Hiraṇya-kaṡipu, Bāṇa, Kāliya, Naraka, Bali;
he is worshipped under a thousand names, which are all enumerated in MBh. XIII, 6950-7056 ;
he is sometimes regarded as the divinity of the lunar mansion called Ṡravaṇa) RV. etc. etc. (cf. RTL. 44 IW. 324);

gandharvá

he is designated as the heavenly Gandharva ( divyág- RV. IX, 86, 36 and X, 139, 5),
andﾠ is alsoﾠ called Viṡvā-vasu ( RV. X, 85, 21 and 22;139, 4 and 5) andﾠ Vāyu-keṡa (in pl. RV. III, 38, 6);
his habitation is the sky, orﾠ the region of the air andﾠ the heavenly waters
( RV. I, 22, 14; VIII, 77, 5; IX, 85, 12; 86, 36; X, 10, 4 AV. II, 2, 3);
his especial duty is to guard the heavenly Soma RV. IX, 83, 4 and 85, 12,
which the gods obtain through his intervention RV. AV. VII, 73, 3 ; cf. RV. I, 22, 14 ;
it is obtained for the human race by Indra, who conquers the Gandharva andﾠ takes it by force ( RV. VIII, 1, 11 and 77, 5);
the heavenly Gandharva is supposed to be a good physician, because the Soma is considered as the best medicine;
possibly, however, the word Soma originally denoted not the beverage so called, but the moon, andﾠ the heavenly Gandharva may have been the genius orﾠ tutelary deity of the moon;
in one passage RV. IX, 86, 36 the heavenly Gandharva andﾠ the Soma are identified;
he is alsoﾠ regarded as one of the genii who regulate the course of the Sun's horses
i, 163, 2; X, 177, 2; cf. 135, 5 ;
he knows andﾠ makes known the secrets of heaven andﾠ divine truths generally
( X, 139, 5 and 6 AV. II, 1, 2; XX, 128, 3 VS. XI, 1; XXXII, 9);
he is the parent of the first pair of human beings, Yama andﾠ Yamī RV. X, 10, 4),
andﾠ has a peculiar mystical power over women andﾠ a right to possess them RV. X, 85, 21 and 22; 40 and 41 ;
for this reason he is invoked in marriage ceremonies AV. XIV, 2, 35 and 36 ;
ecstatic states of mind andﾠ possession by evil spirits are supposed to be derived from the heavenly Gandharva (cf. - gṛihīta, - graha);
the Gandharvas as a class have the same characteristic features as the one Gandharva;
they live in the sky RV. AV. ṠBr. XIV,
guard the Soma RV. IX, 113, 3 ṠBr. III AitBr. I, 27,
are governed by Varuṇa (just as the Apsarasas are governed by Soma) ṠBr. XIII ĀṡvṠr. X, 7, 3,
know the best medicines AV. VIII, 7, 23 VS. XII, 98,
regulate the course of the asterisms ( AV. XIII, 1, 23 BhP. IV, 29, 21 ;
hence twenty-seven are mentioned VS. IX, 7),
follow after women andﾠ are desirous of intercourse with them (AV. ṠBr. III) ;
as soon as a girl becomes marriageable, she belongs to Soma, the Gandharvas, andﾠ Agni Gṛihyās. II, 19 f. Pañcat. Suṡr. ;
the wives of the Gandharvas are the Apsarasas
(cf. gandharvâ̱psarás),
andﾠ like them the Gandharvas are invoked in gambling with dice AV. VII, 109, 5 ;
they are alsoﾠ feared as evil beings together with the Rākshasas, Kimīdins, Piṡācas, etc., amulets being worn as a protection against them ( AV. Suṡr.);
they are said to have revealed the Vedas to Vāc
( ṠBr. III ; cf. PārGṛ. II, 12, 2),
andﾠ are called the preceptors of the Ṛishis ṠBr. XI ;
Purūravas is called among them ( ib.);
in epic poetry the Gandharvas are the celestial musicians orﾠ heavenly singers (cf. RV. X, 177, 2)
who form the orchestra at the banquets of the gods, andﾠ they belong together with the Apsarasas to Indra's heaven, sharing alsoﾠ in his battles;
Yājñ. I, 71 MBh. Hariv. etc..; cf. RTL. p. 238 ;
in the more systematic mythology the Gandharvas constitute one of the classes into which the higher creation is divided
(i.e. gods, manes, Gandharvas AV. XI, 5, 2 ;
orﾠ gods, Asuras, Gandharvas, men TS. VII, 8, 25, 2 ;
cf. ṠBr. X ;
orﾠ gods, men, Gandharvas, Apsarasas, Sarpas, andﾠ manes AitBr. III, 31, 5 ;
for other enumerations cf. Nir. III, 8 Mn. I, 37 RTL. p. 237 ;
III, 196; VII, 23; XII, 47 Nal. etc..);
divine andﾠ human Gandharvas are distinguished
( TUp. II, 8 the divine orﾠ Deva-Gandharvas are enumerated MBh. I, 2550 ff. and 4810 ff.);
another passage names 11 classes of Gandharvas (TĀr. I, 9, 3) ;
the chief orﾠ leader of the Gandharvas is named Citra-ratha Bhag. X, 26 ;
they are called the creatures of Prajāpati Mn. I, 37 ;
orﾠ of Brahmā. Hariv. 11793 orﾠ of Kaṡyapa 11850 ;
orﾠ of the Munis MBh. I, 2550 Hariv. 11553 ;
orﾠ of Prādhā MBh. I, 2556 ;
orﾠ of Arishṭā Hariv. 234 VP. I, 21 orﾠ of Vāc ( PadmaP.);

sarasvatī


N. of a river (celebrated in RV. andﾠ held to be a goddess whose identity is much disputed;
most authorities hold that the name Sárasvatī is identical with the Avestan Haraquaiti river in Afghanistan, but that it usually means the Indus in the RV., andﾠ only occasionally the small sacred rivers in Madhya-deṡa < seeﾠ below>;
the river-goddess has seven sisters andﾠ is herself sevenfold, she is called the mother of streams, the best of mothers, of rivers, andﾠ of goddesses;
the Ṛishis always recognize the connection of the goddess with the river, andﾠ invoke her to descend from the sky, to bestow vitality, renown, andﾠ riches;
elsewhere she is described as moving along a golden path andﾠ as destroying Vṛitra etc.;
as a goddess she is often connected with other deities e.g.. with Pūshan, Indra, the Maruts andﾠ the Aṡvins;
in the Āpri hymns she forms a triad with the sacrificial goddesses Iḍā andﾠ Bhātrati;
accord. toﾠ a myth told in the VS. XIX, 12, Sárasvatī through speech < vācā> communicated vigour to Indra;
in the BrShmaṇas she is identified with vāc, « Speech», andﾠ in later times becomes goddess of eloquence seeﾠ below) RV. etc. etc.;
N. of a well-known small river (held very sacred by the Hindūs;
identified with the modern Sursooty, at, d formerly marking with the Dṛishadvatī one of the boundaries of the region Ārya-deṡa andﾠ of the sacred district called Brahmâvarta < seeﾠ Mn. II, 17 > in RV. VII, 95, 2,
this river is represented as flowing into the sea, although later legends make it disappear underground andﾠ join the Ganges andﾠ Jumnā at Allahibād;
seeﾠ tri-veṇī, prayāga) ib. ;
N. of various rivers (esp. of rivers which in sacredness are equal to Sárasvatī andﾠ which are three accord. toﾠ AV. VI, 101,
andﾠ seven accord. toﾠ MBh. IX, 2188);

N. of the goddess of eloquence andﾠ learning (cf. above;
she is opposed to Ṡri orﾠ Lakshmī <cf. Vikr. V, 24 >, andﾠ sometimes considered as the daughter andﾠ alsoﾠ wife of Beahmā, the proper wife of that god being rather Sāvitri orﾠ Gāyatri;
she is alsoﾠ identified with Durgā, orﾠ even with the wife of Vishṇu andﾠ of Manu, andﾠ held to be the daughter of Daksha) Mn. MBh. etc.;

ca

2) ind. andﾠ, both, alsoﾠ, moreover, as well as (= τε, Lat. que, placed like these particles as an enclitic after the word which it connects with what precedes;
when used with a personal pronoun this must appear in its fuller accented form (e.g.. távacamámaca <not tecameca>, « both of thee andﾠ me»), when used after verbs the first of them is accented Pāṇ. 8-1, 58 f. ;
it connects whole sentences as well as parts of sentences;
in RV. the double ca occurs more frequently than the single (e.g.. aháṉcatváṉca, « I andﾠ thou», VIII, 62, 11);
the double ca may alsoﾠ be used somewhat redundantly in class. Sanskṛit (e.g.. kvahariṇakānāṉjīvitaṉcâ̱tilolaṉkvacavajra-sārāḥṡarāste, « where is the frail existence, of fawns andﾠ where are thy adamantine arrows?» Ṡak. I, 10);
in later literature, however, the first ca is more usually omitted (e.g.. ahaṉtvaṉca), andﾠ when more than two things are enumerated only one ca is often found (e.g.. tejasāyaṡasālakshmyāsthityācaparayā, « in glory, in fame, in beauty, andﾠ in high position» Nal. XII, 6);
elsewhere, when more than two things are enumerated, ca is placed after some andﾠ omitted after others (e.g.. ṛiṇa-dātācavaidyaṡcaṡrotriyonadī, « the payer of a debt andﾠ a physician < andﾠ> a Brāhman < andﾠ> a river» Hit. I, 4, 55);
in Ved. andﾠ even in class. Sanskṛit Mn. III, 20; IX, 322 Hit.,
when the double ca would generally be used, the second may occasionally be omitted (e.g.. indraṡcasoma, « both Indra < andﾠ thou> Soma» RV. VII, 104, 25 ;
durbhedyaṡcâ̱ṡusaṉdheyaḥ, « both difficult to be divided < andﾠ> quickly united» Hit. I);
with lexicographers ca may imply a reference to certain other words which are not expressed (e.g.. kamaṇḍalaucakarakaḥ, « the word karaka has the meaning « pitcher» andﾠ other meanings»);
sometimes ca is = eva, even, indeed, certainly, just (e.g.. su-cintitaṉcau͡shadhaṉnanāma-mātreṇakarotyarogam, « even a well-devised remedy does not cure a disease by its mere name» Hit. ;
yāvantaevatetāvāṉṡcasaḥ, « as great as they < were> just so great was he» Ragh. XII, 45);
occasionally ca is disjunctive, « but», « on the contrary», « on the other hand», « yet», « nevertheless» (varamādyaunacâ̱ntimaḥ, « better the two first but not the last» Hit. ;
ṡāntamidamāṡrama-padaṉsphuraticabāhuḥ, « this hermitage is tranquil yet my arm throbs» Ṡak. I, 15);
ca-ca, though-yet Vikr. II, 9 ;
ca-naca, though - yet not Pat. ;
ca - natu (v.l. nanu) id., Mālav. IV, 8 ;
naca - ca, though not - yet Pat. ;
ca may be used for vā, « either», « orﾠ» (e.g.. ihacâ̱mutravā, « either here orﾠ hereafter» Mn. XII, 89 ;
strīvāpumānvāyaccâ̱nyatsattvam, « either a woman orﾠ a man orﾠ any other being» R.), andﾠ when a neg. particle is joined with ca the two may then be translated by « neither», « nor» ;
occasionally one ca orﾠ one na is omitted (e.g.. nacaparibhoktuṉnai ͡vaṡaknomihātum, « I am able neither to enjoy nor to abandon» Ṡak. V, 18 ;
napūrvâ̱hṇenācaparâ̱hṇe, « neither in the forenoon nor in the afternoon»);
ca-ca may express immediate connection between two acts orﾠ their simultaneous occurrence (e.g.. mamacamuktaṉtamasāmanomanasijenadhanushiṡaraṡcaniveṡitaḥ, « no sooner is my mind freed from darkness than a shaft is fixed on his bow by the heart-born god», VI, 8);
ca is sometimes = cêd, « if» (cf. Pāṇ. 8-1, 30 ;
the verb is accented) RV. AV. MBh. Vikr. II, 20 Bhartṛ. II, 45 ;
ca may be used as an expletive (e.g.. anyaiṡcakratubhiṡca, « andﾠ with other sacrifices»);
ca is often joined to an adv. like eva, api, tathā, tathai ͡va, etc., either with orﾠ without a neg. particle (e.g.. vairiṇaṉnôpasevetasahâ̱yaṉcaivavairiṇaḥ, « one ought not to serve either an enemy orﾠ the ally of an enemy» Mn. IV, 133);

viṡvā-mitra

viṡvā́-mitra

N. of a celebrated Ṛishi orﾠ Sage (having the patr. Gāthina, Gādheya, andﾠ Jāhnava;
he was at first a functionary, together with Vasishṭha, of Su-dās, king of the Tṛitsus;
seeing Vasishṭha preferred by the king, he went over to the Bharatas, but could not prevent their being defeated by Su-dās, although he caused the waters of the rivers Vipāṡ andﾠ Ṡutudri to retire andﾠ so give the Bharatas free passage RV. III, 33 ;
he was born as a Kshatriya, deriving his lineage from an ancestor of Kuṡika, named Purū-ravas, of the lunar race of kings, andﾠ himself sovereign of Kanyā-kubja orﾠ Kanoj;
his fame rests chiefly on his contests with the great Brāhman Vasishṭha, andﾠ his success in elevating himself. though a Kshatriya, to the rank of a Brāhman seeﾠ Manu VII, 42:
the Rāmayaṇa, which makes him a companion andﾠ counsellor of the young Rāma-candra, records I, 51-65 how Viṡvāmitra, on his accession to the throne, visited Vasishṭha's hermitage,
andﾠ seeing there the cow of plenty <probably typical of go, the earth >,

N. of an Āditya (in the Veda commonly the night as Mitra over the day, but often celebrated separately, whereas Mitra is rarely invoked alone;
Varuṇa is one of the oldest of the Vedic gods, andﾠ is commonly thought to correspond to the Oὐρανός of the Greeks, although of a more spiritual conception;
he is often regarded as the supreme deity, being then styled « king of the gods» orﾠ « king of both gods andﾠ men» orﾠ « king of the universe» ;
no other deity has such grand attributes andﾠ functions assigned to him;
he is described as fashioning andﾠ upholding heaven andﾠ earth, as possessing extraordinary power andﾠ wisdom called māyā,

in RV. IV, 1, 2, he is even called the brother of Agni;
though not generally regarded in the Veda as a god of the ocean, yet he is often connected with the waters, especially the waters of the atmosphere orﾠ firmament, andﾠ in one place RV. VII, 64, 2 is called with Mitra,
sindhu-pati, « lord of the sea orﾠ of rivers» ;
hence in the later mythology he became a kind of Neptune, andﾠ is there best known in his character of god of the ocean;
in the MBh. Varuṇa is said to be a son of Kardama andﾠ father of Pushkara, andﾠ is alsoﾠ variously represented as one of the Deva-gandharvas, as a Nāga, as a king of the Nagas, andﾠ as an Asura;
he is the regent of the western quarter <cf. loka-pāla> andﾠ of the Nakshatra Ṡatabhishaj < VarBṛS. >;
