Vedic Reference
EnglishNanāndṛ is a word occurring only once in the Rigveda, ^1
where it denotes, according to Sāyaṇa, the ‘husband's sister, ’
over whom the wife is to rule. This interpretation is confirmed
by the fact that the same position is ascribed to the husband's
sister — no doubt while unmarried and living in her brother's
care — by the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa.^2
1) x. 85, 46.
2) iii. 22.
Cf. Delbrück, Die indogermanischen
Verwandtschaftsnamen, 516. The native
lexicographers recognize the word,
though its occurrence in the later
literature is very rare (it has been
noted in the Uttararāmacarita). See
the St. Petersburg Dictionary, s.v.
