The Paippalāda recension has Tāvuca instead. Weber² thinks that the original form was Tāthuva, from the root \*sthā\*, ‘stand,’ and that it meant ‘stopping’; but this is hardly probable.³ - [Previous: v1.c3.s17.201](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.201) - [Next: v1.c3.s17.203](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.203) - [Up: v1.c3.s17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.202](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.202) · Pramāṇa
