Vedic Reference
EnglishDhenā denotes a ‘milch cow, ’^1 or in the plural, ‘draughts of
milk.’^2 In two passages^3 Roth^4 takes the word to mean ‘mare, ’
and in another the ‘team’ of Vāyu's chariot. Benfey, ^6 on the
other hand, renders it ‘lips’ in one passage, ^7 with Sāyaṇa and
with Durga's commentary on the Nirukta.^8 Geldner^9 assigns
to the word the senses of ‘lips, ’^10 ‘speech, ’^11 ‘cow, ’^12 ‘beloved, ’^13
and ‘streams.’^14
