स्कम्भ, अस्, m. support, prop, fulcrum
‘the sup-
porter, propper, ’ N. of a Vedic deity, (he is identified
in Atharva-veda X. 7. with the supreme Being him-
self, and is there represented, like Puruṣa, as co-
extensive with the universe, and comprehending
every existing thing in his members
the gods and
all other entities, and even such abstract conceptions
as faith, truth, &c., standing to him in the relation
of branches to a tree
in X. 8. he is described as a
sort of universal fulcrum as well as a universally dif-
fused essence, the sky and the earth being said to
be supported by him, and ‘all which has soul, which
breathes, which winks’ being identified with him
he is even called ज्येष्ठम् ब्रह्म, which some
think may mean not only the highest divine essence,
but a kind of preæval Veda, of which the existing
Vedas are merely branches.)
—स्कम्भ-देष्ण, अस्,
आ, अम्, Ved. whose gifts are firm, stable in giving
(said of the Maruts).
