Vedic Reference
English
1. Tānva in an obscure passage of the Rigveda^1 seems to
mean a ‘legitimate son, who is said not to leave the heritage
(riktha) of his father to his sister (jāmi). The exact meaning
is probably unascertainable, ^2 but the passage may convey a
statement of what was no doubt the fact, that the daughter
had no share in the paternal inheritance
her brother had to
provide for her during her life if she remained unmarried, but
she had no independent portion.^3 (See Dāya.)
1) iii. 31, 2.
2) Cf. Griffith, Hymns of the Rigveda, 1,
348
Oldenberg, Ṛgveda Noten, 1, 240
Geldner, Vedische Studien, 3, 34.
3) Cf. Jolly, Recht und Sitte, 87, for
the modern law of the Panjab.
2. Tānva appears to be a patronymic, ‘descendant of Tanva,
in a verse of the Rigveda.^1 Ludwig^2 thinks that it is the
patronymic of Duḥśīma, who is mentioned in the preceding
verse, but this is uncertain.
