it is obtained for the human race by Indra, who conquers the Gandharva and takes it by force (RV. viii, 1, 11 and 77, 5)
the heavenly Gandharva is supposed to be a good physician, because the Soma is considered as the best medicine
possibly, however, the word Soma originally denoted not the beverage so called, but the moon, and the heavenly Gandharva may have been the genius or tutelary deity of the moon
in one passage (RV. ix, 86, 36) the heavenly Gandharva and the Soma are identified
he is also regarded as one of the genii who regulate the course of the Sun's horses (i, 163, 2

ecstatic states of mind and possession by evil spirits are supposed to be derived from the heavenly Gandharva (cf. -गृहीत, -ग्रह)

in epic poetry the Gandharvas are the celestial musicians or heavenly singers (cf.

गन्धर्व गन्धर्व or sometimes in post-
Vedic writings गन्धर्ब, अस्, m. a Gandharva.
Though in later times the Gandharvas are regarded
as a class, yet in the Ṛg-veda rarely more than one
is mentioned
he is commonly designated as the
‘heavenly Gandharva’ (दिव्यो गन्धर्वः), and
sometimes named Viśvā-vasu
his habitation is the
sky, or the region of the air and the heavenly waters
his especial duty is to guard the heavenly Soma,
which the gods obtain through his intervention. It
is obtained for the human race by Indra, who
conquers the Gandharva and takes it by force. The
heavenly Gandharva is supposed to be a good phy-
sician, because the Soma is considered as the best
medicine
possibly, however, the word Soma origin-
ally denoted not the beverage so called, but the
moon, and the heavenly Gandharva may have been
the genius or tutelary deity of the moon. It is cer-
tain that the heavenly Gandharva and the Soma are
sometimes identified. He is also regarded as one of
the genii who regulate the course of the Sun's horses
he knows and makes known the secrets of heaven
and divine truths generally. He is the parent of the
first pair of human beings, Yama and Yamī, and has
a peculiar mystical power over women and a right
to possess them. For this reason he is invoked in
marriage ceremonies. Exstatic states of mind and
possession by evil spirits are supposed to be derived
from the heavenly Gandharva. With Jainas he is an
attendant of the seventeenth Arhat of the present
Avasarpiṇī. The Gandharvas as a class have the same
characteristic features as the one Gandharva
they
live in the sky, guard the Soma, are governed by
Varuṇa (just as the Apsarasas are governed by Soma),
know the best medicines, regulate the course of the
asterisms (in one passage of the Vājasaneyi-Saṃhitā
twenty-seven being mentioned), follow after women
and are desirous of intercourse with them. As soon
as a girl becomes marriageable, she belongs to Soma,
the Gandharvas and Agni. The wives of the Gandhar-
vas are the Apsarasas, and like them the Gandharvas
are invoked in gambling with dice
they are also
feared as evil beings together with the Rakṣasas,
Kimīdins, Piśācas, &c., amulets being worn as a
protection against them. In the Śatapatha-Brāh-
maṇa they are called the preceptors of the Ṛṣis.
In epic poetry the Gandharvas are the celestial mu-
sicians or heavenly singers who form the orchestra at
the banquets of the gods, and they belong together
with the Apsarasas to Indra's heaven, sharing also in
his battles. In the more systematic mythology the
Gandharvas constitute one of the classes into which
the higher creation is divided (e. g. gods, manes,
Gandharvas
or gods, Asuras, Gandharvas, men, &c.).
In one passage of the Taittirīya-Āraṇyaka eleven
classes of Gandharvas are mentioned. The chief or
leader of the Gandharvas is named Citra-ratha. They
are sometimes called the creatures of Prajāpati or
Brahmā. With Jainas the Gandharvas constitute one
of the eight classes of the Vyantaras. The following
meanings are also given to the word गन्धर्व
a singer
the Koïl or black cuckoo
the soul after
death, and previous to its being born again (cor-
responding in some respects to the western notion
of a ghost)
a horse
the sun
a sage, a pious man
a kind of deer, according to some, the musk deer
(ई), f. Gandharvī, a daughter of Su-rabhi and mother
of the race of horses

gandharvá, m., Name eines göttlichen Wesens oder einer Klasse derselben. Der Gandharve erscheint in nächster Beziehung zur Sonne. Er ergreift des Sonnenrosses Zügel ({163, 2})
er steht hoch an des Himmels Wölbung ({797, 12}
{949, 7}), glänzende Waffen tragend, in schön duftenden Mantel gehüllt ({949, 7}) und erleuchtet die Welten ({797, 12})
so durchmisst [Page377] er den Luftraum ({965, 5}) und wird mit dem schöngeflügelten eilenden Vogel, der an des Himmels Wölbung fliegt, d. h. der Sonne ({949, 6}), entweder gleichgesetzt oder zu ihm in nächste Beziehung gestellt ({797, 12}
{1003, 2}), ebenso mit Savitar und Puschan (965) und mit Soma, wo dieser der Sonne verglichen wird ({797, 11}. _{797, 12}, vgl. {798, 36}), auch zum Theil mit Agni ({797, 12}
{949, 8}). Häufig erscheint er umgeben von himmlischen Gewässern ({798, 36}
{836, 4}
{837, 2}, vgl. {1003, 1}. _{1003, 2}), welche bei seinem Anblick niederrinnen ({965, 4}). Unter diesen rinnenden himmlischen Gewässern scheint vorzugsweise der himmlische Soma gemeint, als dessen Beschützer ({795, 4}) und Spender er erscheint (vgl. {22, 14}
{825, 3}). So scheinen auch die Gandharven es zu sein, die in die Somapflanze die himmlischen Somakräfte hineinlegen (vgl. {825, 3}). Als Gattin des Gandharven erscheint die Apsaras ({949, 5}), auch ápiā yósā ({836, 4}), ápiā yósaṇā ({837, 2}) genannt. Aus dem gandharvá und der ápiā yóṣā wird das erste Menschenpaar yamás und yamī́ erzeugt ({836, 4})
über die unvermählte Jungfrau hat er besondere Macht
sie gehört ihm zunächst (dann dem Soma und Agni) an ({911, 40}. _{911, 41}), und bei der Vermählung muss er angefleht werden, die Braut dem Gatten zu überlassen (_{911, 1}). Er erscheint in Abhängigkeit von Indra, der ihn, während die Sonne ihr Ross antreibt, beschleicht und fängt ({621, 11}), der ihn in den bodenlosen Lufträumen sich verschafft ({686, 5}). Seine Beinamen sind viśvā́vasu (alle Schätze enthaltend) {965, 4}. _{965, 5}, welcher Beiname auch für sich zur Bezeichnung des Gandharven erscheint ({911, 21}. _{911, 22}, vgl. _{911, 40}. _{911, 41}), ferner diviá ({965, 5}
{798, 36}), vāyúkeśa (im Plural {272, 6}). Auf den Gesang des Gandharven deutet hin {1003, 2} (vgl. {837, 2}), wie er denn auch als Kenner ({949, 4}) und Verkünder ({965, 6}) ewiger, göttlicher Geheimnisse genannt wird. Die Ableitung ist ungewiss, Zusammenhang mit den Centauren unwahrscheinlich. Da die Düfte der Erde [AV. 12, 1, 23] zu ihnen aufsteigen, auch im RV der Gandharve von Düften umgeben erscheint ({949, 7}), so ist Ableitung aus gandhá (Duft) denkbar. Man hätte dann etwa ein gandhara [vgl. gandhā́ri] als Mittelstufe anzunehmen, woraus gandharvá wie pū́rva aus pura (purás, purā́) hervorgehen würde. Dann wären die Gandharven als die in dem himmlischen, duftigen Aether wohnenden aufzufassen.
