The late Mr Tilak in his 'Arctic' home in the Vedas' (pp 162-169) gave a somewhat far-fetched interpretation of these two words which can hardly be accepted as satisfactory in the presence of words like 'atithigva' (Ṛg. I 53 8, I 30 7, II 14 7, IV 26 3, VIII 68.17), 'abhiyugvan' (Ṛg VI 45 15), 'etagva' (Ṛg. VIII 70.7). This verse is explained in Nir XI 19. - [Previous: v5.c72.43](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v5.c72.43) - [Next: v5.c72.45](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v5.c72.45) - [Up: v5.c72](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v5.c72) ## Cites (2) - [Nirukta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.nirukta.yaska.11.19) — Yāska, Sanskrit - [Ṛgvedasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.rg.1.30.7) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v5.c72.44](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v5.c72.44) · Pramāṇa
