Denotes the knots of the reed or the joints of a plant, and more generally a part or limb of the body. It also designates a period of time, probably with reference to the breaks in the month at new and full moon. In one passage Geldner thinks the word indicates a song section of the Sāmaveda.
In the Rigveda and the Atharvaveda is conjoined with giri in the sense of ‘hill’ or ‘mountain.’ From the Rigveda onwards it is common in this sense as connected with the waters of rivers which flow in the hills. The legend of the mountains having wings is already found in the Samhitās. In the Kausītaki Upanisad are mentioned the southern (daksiηa) and the northern (uttara) mountains, evidently in allusion to the Himālaya and the Vindhya ranges. The plants (osadhi) and aromatic products (añjaηa) of the mountains are referred to in the Atharvaveda, and their mineral treasures in the Rigveda.
In one passage of the Rigveda denotes, according to Ludwig, a sacrificer whose generosity is praised But it is probable that the god Parvata, the spirit of the mountain, is meant.
Is mentioned several times in the Aitareya Brāhmana along with Nārada. The Anukramanī (Index) attributes to him the authorship of several hymns of the Rigveda.
(‘heron-jointed’?), a term occurring once in the Atharvaveda, is applied to a snake, meaning perhaps scorpion.’ As the Paippalāda recension has a different reading (añga-parvanah), the passage may be corrupt.
