Vedic Reference
English
Nārmiṇī is found in the Rigveda^1 as an epithet of Pur, ‘fort’:
it must apparently either be a proper name of the fort, ^2 or
mean ‘belonging to Narmin or Narmiṇa, some prince.^3
1) i. 149, 3.
2) Ludwig, Translation of the Rig-
veda, 3, 204.
3) Roth, St. Petersburg Dictionary,
s.v. Possibly the expression may con-
sist of two words na, ‘not’ or ‘like,
and armiṇī, whatever that may mean.
