पुराणम्
English
घोषा / GHOṢĀ. A tapasvinī famed in ṛgveda. She was the grand-daughter of Dṛgata maharṣi and daughter of sage kakṣīvān. As she contracted leprosy in her very childhood nobody came forward to marry her. Ultimately she composed a mantra in praise of aśvinīdevas. They cured ghoṣā of leprosy and she got married. (ṛgveda, Maṇḍala 1, Anuvāka 7, Sūkta 117).
Vedic Reference
English
Ghoṣā is mentioned as a protégée of the Aśvins in two
passages of the Rigveda, ^1 probably as the recipient of a husband,
who is perhaps referred to in another passage^2 as Arjuna,
though this is not likely. Sāyaṇa finds a reference there to
a skin disease, which is considered in the later tradition of the
Bṛhaddevatā^3 to have been the cause of her remaining unwed,
but this view is not tenable. According to Sāyaṇa, her son,
Suhastya, is alluded to in an obscure verse of the Rigveda
^4
Oldenberg, ^5 however, here sees a reference to Ghoṣā herself,
while Pischel^6 thinks that the form (ghoṣe) is not a noun at all,
but verbal.
1) i. 117, 7
x. 40, 5. Cf. x. 39, 3. 6.
2) i. 122, 5. See Oldenberg, Ṛgveda-
Noten, 1, 123.
3) vii. 41-48, with Macdonell's notes.
4) i. 120, 5.
5) Op. cit., 119. Suhastya is apparently
invented from x. 41, 3, probably assisted
by the fact that Vadhrimatī was given
a son, Hiraṇyahasta, by the Aśvins
(Rv. i. 117, 24).
