Vedic Reference
EnglishṚṣis. — The term ‘Seven Ṛṣis’ denotes the ‘Great Bear’ (see
1. Ṛkṣa) in one passage of the Rigveda, ^1 and occasionally
later.^2 This is probably a secondary use, instead of the seven
Ṛkṣas, brought about by the frequent mention of the seven Ṛṣis.
1) x. 82, 2.
2) Av vi. 40, 1 (where, however,
Whitney, Translation of the Atharva-
veda, 310. merely renders it as ‘seven
seers, ’ and appears not to take it in a
technical sense)
