Vedic Reference
English
Padi is found once in the Rigveda, ^1 where, according to the
St. Petersburg Dictionary, the word probably designates some
kind of animal. Yāska^2 explains it as equivalent to gantu,
‘a moving creature, ’ but Durga^3 as meaning ‘bird.’ The
passage may refer to catching the Padi in a net (? mukṣījā).^4
