Vedic Index of Names and Subjects v1.c3.611

- **Language:** English

### [v1.c3.611](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.611)

Arjunī is, in the Rigveda,¹ the name of the Nakṣatra (‘lunar mansion’), elsewhere² called Phalgunī. It occurs in the marriage hymn, with Aghā for Maghā, and, like that word, is apparently a deliberate modification.
