Ātā.—The framework of the door of a house appears to be denoted by the plural of this word in the Rigveda¹ (though in all passages there it is used only by synecdoche of the doors of the sky), and in the Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā.² Zimmer³ compares the Latin antae, to which the word etymologically corresponds.⁴
