Vedic Reference
EnglishPipīlikā in the Atharvaveda^1 and later^2 denotes an ‘ant, ’
the form of the word referring doubtless not so much to the
small species of ant, as it is taken in the later lexicons, ^3 but
rather to the insect's tiny size, which would naturally be
expressed by a diminutive formation of the name. The form
Pipīlaka^4 is found in the Chāndogya Upaniṣad.^5
