v2.c4.s4.11
Makha appears to designate a person in two passages of the Rigveda,¹ but in neither passage does the context explain who he was. Probably a demon of some kind is meant. In the later Saṃhitās² mention is also made of the ‘head of Makha,’ an expression which has become unintelligible to the Brāhmaṇas.³
