पुराणम्

English

मर्क / MARKA. See under the word Śaṇḍāmarka.

Vedic Reference

English

 1. Marka is found in one passage of the Rigveda, ^1 where
Roth^2 sees in the expression sūro markaḥ the ‘eclipse of the
sun.’ Sāyaṇa^3 thinks the meaning is ‘purifying.’^4
1) x. 27,  20.
2) St. Petersburg Dictionary,  s.v. He
thinks,  however,  that if the word means
‘eclipse, ’ it cannot be derived from the
root mṛc,  ‘injure.’
3) As from the root mṛj,  derivation
from which is not phonetically justified.
4) Ludwig cites this passage,  in his
essay on eclipses in the Rigveda (Pro-
ceedings of the Bohemian Academy, 
1885),  as a proof that the Vedic Ṛṣis
knew of the moon as eclipsing the sun
but see Whitney's reply,  Journal of the
American Oriental Society,  13,  lxi et seq., 
and Sūrya.

 2. Marka is mentioned in the Taittirīya Saṃhitā^1 and else-
where^2 as the Purohita,  along with Śaṇḍa,  of the Asuras, 
while Bṛhaspati is,  of course,  the Purohita of the gods. Marka
is mentioned elsewhere also.^3 The name may quite possibly
have Iranian affinities,  as believed by Hillebrandt^4 and by
Hopkins.^5 Hillebrandt^6 also sees in a Gṛdhra mentioned in
the Rigveda^7 and elsewhere^8 a prototype of Marka.
