Vedic Reference
English
Mānyamāna occurs with the word Devaka in the Rigveda.^1
The word seems to be a patronymic from Manyamāna, meaning
‘son of the proud one.’^2 Roth^3 renders the two words ‘the
godling, the proudling (hast thou smitten).’
1) viii. 18, 20.
2) Sāyaṇa takes Manyamāna as a
proper name.
3) St. Petersburg Dictionary, s.v. Cf.
Hopkins, Journal of the American Oriental
Society, 15, 264.
