Is the name of a Rṣi in the Mantra Pājha. He is mentioned with Pratibodha in the Atharvaveda, but Whitney thinks that in the second passage, at least, the word is an ordinary noun meaning ‘ the wakeful one.’
A word occurring only once in the Rigveda, is of doubtful meaning. It is held by Ludwig to be the name of a seer. Roth regards it as a mere adjective meaning ‘ attending to the invocation,’ which is perhaps the most probable interpretation. Oldenburg, however, thinks that the word is a‘ proper name, the literal sense being ‘alert in old age.’
