Atharvī (अथर्वी):—[tatpurusha compound] f.

(-vī) . This word occurs only in the Veda and is explained ‘not going, unable to move’, from a neg. and tharvī (from tharv, to go). It would seem, however, that it is a [tatpurusha compound] composed of the obsolete word athar, fire, and vī, ‘surrounded by fire’(?). See the E. of atharvan and atharī.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
