Vedic Reference

English

 1. Muñja denotes a grass,  the Saccharum Muñja,  which is
of luxuriant growth,  attaining to a height of ten feet. It is
mentioned in the Rigveda^1 along with other kinds of grasses
as the lurking-place of venomous creatures. In the same text^2
the Muñja grass is spoken of as purifying,  apparently being
used as the material of a filter for Soma. The grass is often
mentioned in the later Saṃhitās^3 and the Brāhmaṇas.^4 It is
in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa^5 said to be ‘hollow’ (suṣira) and
to be used for the plaited part of the throne (Āsandī).^6
1) i. 191,  3.
2) i. 161,  8 (muñja-nejana,  which Sāyaṇa
explains as apagata-tṛṇa,  ‘with the grass
removed’).
