Something I found kinda nice - Ait. Br. III 34, from a suite of Roudran undertaking (hence why the cautionary note about what to do "should this verse appear to be too dangerous") - referencing / explicating how to utilize RV I 43 6 - notes that there's a pair of terms, 'Naraḥ' & 'Nāryaḥ', … Continue reading On An Oft-Misinterpreted Term Of Power Affixed To ‘Man’
