Vedic Reference

English

 Nekṣaṇa occurs once in the Atharvaveda, ^1 where a ‘spit’
seems to be meant. In the Rigveda^2 Nīkṣaṇa occurs,  and
must have the same sense
 Oldenberg^3 inclines to think that
this word refers to the ‘inspection’ of food,  to see if it is
ready (as from ni-īkṣ,  ‘look into’).
1) ix. 6,  17. Cf. Kauśika Sūtra,  ii. 11
lxxxvii. 12
 Whitney,  Translation of
the Atharvaveda,  540.
2) i. 162,  13.
3) Ṛgveda-Noten,  1,  155.
