Vedic Reference

English

 Magha in the Rigveda^1 denotes ‘bounty, ’ and Maghavan^2 is
the regular Vedic name for the ‘generous giver’ of bounties to
priests. It is doubtful whether the Maghavans were more than
this,  or had any special rank as a class in Vedic society. See
Sabhā.
1) i. 11,  3
 104,  5
 iii. 13,  3
 19,  1
iv. 17,  8
 v. 30,  12
 32,  12,  etc.
Nirukta,  v. 16. Very rarely later,  e.g., 
Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā,  xx. 67.
2) Rv. i. 31,  12
 ii. 6,  4
 27,  17
v. 39,  4
 42,  8
 vi. 27,  8,  etc. So
Magha-tti,  ‘giving of gifts, ’ Rv. iv. 37, 
8
 v. 79,  5
 viii. 24,  10,  etc.
 Magha-
deya,  ‘giving of gifts, ’ vii. 67,  9
x. 156,  2
 Maghavat-tva,  ‘liberality, ’
vi. 27,  3. The word Maghavan is the
epithet par excellence of Indra in the
Rv. (iii. 30,  3
 iv. 16,  1
 31,  7
 42,  5, 
etc.),  and survives in post-Vedic litera-
ture as a name of Indra
 otherwise, 
even in the later Saṃhitās,  it is very
rare,  occurring practically as a divine
epithet only (of Indra,  Taittirīya Saṃ-
hitā,  iv. 4,  8,  1
 Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upani-
ṣad,  i. 3,  13
 Kauṣītaki Upaniṣad, 
ii. 11).
