History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v7.c95.54

v7.c95.54

²⁴⁴⁹ In Ṛg. X. 121 the last quarter of the first 9 verses is ''*Kasmai devāya haviṣā vidhema*'' (to what god shall we offer *havis*?). Then the 10th and last verse addresses Prajāpati with the words 'there is no God other than you who encompassed all these creations.'. It is probably due to this that from '*kasmai*' (in the first nine verses) Prajāpati came to be called 'Ka'.
