Vedic Reference

English

 Vāṇa in the Rigveda^1 and the Atharvaveda^2 denotes ‘instru-
mental music’ according to the St. Petersburg Dictionary
but in the later Saṃhitās^3 and the Brāhmaṇas^4 a ‘harp’ or
‘lyre’ with a hundred strings (śata-tantu),  used at the Mahā-
vrata ceremony. The Rigveda^5 clearly refers to the seven
‘notes’ (dhātu) of the instrument,  which are called elsewhere^6
the seven Vāṇīs,  unless the latter expression be taken as
referring to the metres.^7
1) i. 85,  10
 viii. 20,  8
 ix. 97,  8
x. 32,  4. Cf. Hopkins,  Journal of the
American Oriental Society,  17,  67.
2) x. 2,  17.
3) Taittirīya Saṃhitā,  vii. 5,  9,  2
Kāṭhaka Saṃhitā,  xxxiv. 5.
4) Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa,  v. 6,  12
xiv. 7,  8
 Aitareya Āraṇyaka,  v. 1,  4,  etc.
5) x. 32,  4.
6) i. 164,  24
 iii. 1,  6
 7,  1
 ix. 103,  3, 
etc.
7) Macdonell,  Vedic Grammar,  64.
Cf. Zimmer,  Altindisches Leben,  289, 
who thinks the meaning is ‘flute’ in
Rv. i. 85,  10,  but not necessarily. Max
Müller,  Sacred Books of the East,  32, 
138,  render it ‘voice’ in i. 85,  10
ix. 97,  8,  and ‘arrow’ in viii. 20,  8
ix. 50,  1,  and this sense is accepted in
Böhtlingk's Dictionary,  s.v. 1 vāṇa for
ix. 50,  1.
