Vedic Reference

English

 Madugha,  ‘honey-plant, ’^1 is the name of a sweet herb in the
Atharvaveda.^2 The spelling is somewhat uncertain,  since
many manuscripts read Madhugha.^3
1) The literal meaning is probably
‘yielding honey, ’ the word being,  ac-
cording to the commentator,  derived
from madhu-dugha,  a word actually
occurring in the Rigveda (vi. 70,  1. 5).
2) i. 34,  4
 vi. 102,  3. Cf. Weber, 
Indische Studien,  5,  386,  n.
 404
Whitney,  Translation of the Atharva-
veda,  34,  35,  355
 Bloomfield,  Hymns
of the Atharvaveda,  275
 Zimmer,  Altin-
disches Leben,  69.
3) These two forms probably stand
by haplology for ma[dhu]-dugha and
madhu-[du]gha. Cf. Macdonell,  Vedic
Grammar,  64,  1a.
