c7.s4.7

Frogs awakened by the rains are in RV. 7, 103 the objects of a panegyric as bestowing cows and long life, and seem to be conceived as possessing magical powers¹³. This hymn has, however, been interpreted by Max Müller¹⁴ as a satire on Brahmans. Bergaigne interprets the frogs as meteorological phenomena¹⁵.
