Vedic Reference
English
Jātū-ṣṭhira occurs in one verse of the Rigveda^1 where
Sāyaṇa and Ludwig^2 interpret the word as a proper name.
Roth^3 renders it as an adjective meaning ‘naturally powerful.’^4
1) ii. 13, 11.
2) Translation of the Rigveda, 3, 152.
3) St. Petersburg Dictionary, s.v. (with
a wrong reference, ii. 23, 11).
