Vedic Reference
English
Jarā-bodha, a word occurring only once in the Rigveda, ^1 is
of doubtful meaning. It is held by Ludwig^2 to be the name of
a seer. Roth^3 regards it as a mere adjective meaning ‘attending
to the invocation, ’ which is perhaps the most probable inter-
pretation. Oldenburg, ^4 however, thinks that the word is a
proper name, the literal sense being ‘alert in old age.’
