The term is, however, found in the ordinary lists of the Nakṣatras in the later Saṃhitās and the Brāhmaṇas.³ - [Previous: v1.c3.s21.1075](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.1075) - [Next: v1.c3.s21.1077](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.1077) - [Up: v1.c3.s21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21) ## Cites (1) - [Ṛgvedasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.rg) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.1076](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.1076) · Pramāṇa
