Seems to mean a ‘ staff ’ or ‘ support ’ in one passage of the Rigveda. In another place a man is described as Rambhin, apparently as carrying a staff to support himself in old age; Sāyaṇa explains this word as ‘ door-keeper ’ (like one of the senses of dandin, ‘ staff-bearer,’ in later Sanskrit).
Is the name, from the Rigveda onwards, of a kind of porridge made of grain (Yava), which was unhusked, parched slightly, and kneaded. It was the especial sacrificial portion of Pūsan, no doubt in his capacity of an agricultural deity. Karambha was also made of barley (Upavāka) or of sesame (Tirya).
