Vedic Reference
English
1. Mandhātṛ occurs in several passages of the Rigveda, ^1 in
all of which Roth^2 takes the word as merely an adjective used
substantively, ‘the pious man.’ In one passage^3 the word,
being applied to Agni, is thus used, but in another^4 Mandhātṛvat
being parallel with Aṅgirasvat, ‘like Aṅgiras, ’ is naturally to be
understood as a proper name, which is probably also the sense
of the word in the preceding hymn.^5 A different Mandhātṛ^6
may be meant in the first Maṇḍala, ^6 where he is mentioned as
a protégé of the Aśvins, and evidently as a king. To equate
these persons, and make a Rājarṣi out of Mandhātṛ, as Ludwig^7
and Griffith^8 do, is unnecessary and improbable.
