Mamatā is, according to Sāyaṇa, in one passage of the Rigveda,¹ the wife of Ucathya and the mother of Dīrghatamas. But the word may be merely an abstract noun meaning ‘self-interest,’ a sense which it often has in the later language. Oldenberg² finds a mention of Mamata (masc.) in a verse of the Rigveda³ as the name of a Bharadvāja.
