सरह् (sarah)

 
Vedic Reference
English
Sarah in the Rigveda^1 and later^2 denotes ‘bee.’ Cf. Saragha.
1) i. 112, 21.
2) Taittirīya Saṃhitā, v. 3, 12, 12
Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa, xiii. 3, 1, 4. The
stem is given as Saraṭ in the Uṇādi-
sūtra, 1, 133
but Saragh shows that
Sarah must be meant (cf. Macdonell,
Vedic Grammar, p. 238, n. 2).
Cf. Zimmer, Altindisches Leben, 97.
