It is doubtless identical with the Avestan Tistrya. Later it is the name of a lunar mansion: see Nakṣatra. - [Previous: v1.c3.s17.283](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.283) - [Next: v1.c3.s17.285](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.285) - [Up: v1.c3.s17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17) ## Linked texts (1) - [Ṛgvedasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.rg) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.284](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.284) · Pramāṇa
