EnglishVedic Reference
EnglishBekurā occurs in the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa, ^1 where it may
mean ‘voice’ or ‘sound, ’ the sense assigned to the word in the
Naighaṇṭuka.^2 It is, however, possibly, like Bakura, the name
of a musical instrument. In the Taittirīya^3 and the Kāṭhaka^4
Saṃhitās the words Bekuri and Vekuri occur as epithets of
Apsarases, or celestial nymphs, meaning, perhaps, ‘melodious’
in the Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā^5 and the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa^6 the
variations Bhakuri and Bhākuri are found.
