I have become interested in the dvandva compound índrAkutsA, a hapax
legomenon at RV 5.31.9, where it is a vocative. What interests me is that
it appears to couple a divine and a human figure, perhaps uniquely, at
least in the RV. Gonda, in Dual Divinities p.85, suggests that there are
other occurrences, but I have not found any. Has anyone encountered other
such dvandvas, or any literature on them [it?]?
Or is Kutsa a divine figure here? Perhaps the line between human and
divine is not so clear in Vedic? More and more I am beginning to think
so....
By the way, who is Michael Jackson? Is he a pANDava?
