Vedic Reference
EnglishPūr-pati, ‘lord of the fort, ’ occurring only once in the
Rigveda, ^1 is of somewhat doubtful interpretation. The term-
may denote a regular office, ^2 similar to that of the Grāmaṇī:
the Pur would then be a permanently occupied settlement.
The expression may, however, merely mean the chief over a
fort when it was actually occupied against hostile attack. The
rarity of the word seems to favour the latter sense.
