EnglishVedic Reference
EnglishParā-vṛj is a term found in four passages of the Rigveda, ^1
in all of which it refers to a person in a forlorn condition,
while one^2 of them also speaks of him as going south. Sāyaṇa's^3
view that the word is a proper name is most unlikely, while
Grassmann's^4 explanation of it as ‘cripple’ is still less probable.
Roth's^5 interpretation of it as ‘exile’ seems clearly right in the
passage which refers to the Parāvṛj as going south. Zimmer^6
accepts Roth's view for this passage, but in the others sees
a reference to the child of a maiden exposed by her and in
danger of being eaten by insects (vamrī). This view is sup-
ported by the fact that parāvṛkta seems to have the same
sense, ^7 and is accepted by Oldenberg.^8
