Vedic Reference
English
Pra-pitva is found in several passages of the Rigveda as a
designation of time. In one passage^1 the sense is made clear
by the context: ‘at the rising of the sun’ (sūra udite), ‘at mid-
day’ (madhyaṃdine divaḥ), and ‘at the Prapitva, bordering on
the night’ (apiśarvare). In another passage^2 the sense of ‘late
in the day’ also seems adequate, while the phrase^3 abhipitve
ahnaḥ, ‘at the close of day, ’ also denotes the evening. According
to Geldner, ^4 the sense of the word is the ‘decisive moment’ in
a race or a battle, and so the ‘end of the day.’^5 Cf. Ahan.

5) Roth, St. Petersburg Dictionary,
s.v., took it to mean ‘daybreak’
so
also Zimmer, Altindisches Leben, 362.
Böhtlingk, Dictionary, s.v., on the other
hand, gives the meaning as ‘decline of
day, ’ ‘evening.’ See also Bloomfield,

of the East, 46, 183 et seq.
