[INDOLOGY] Help with dī́divim

[Uskokov, Aleksandar]

Dear McComas,

The reduplication suggests it is an adjective of an intensive stem. Sayana’s comment suggests the same.

Best,
Aleksandar

Dear McComas Taylor,

According to uṇādi-sūtra ‘divo dve dīrghaś cābhyāsakhyaḥ’ (Siddhāntakaumudī no. 495/Ujjvaladatta 4.55), the word dīdivi is derived from the root div (class 4) with the affix KviN. In his Bālamanoramā under this sūtra, Vāsudeva Dīkṣita quotes ṛgveda 1.1.8 “gopām ṛtasya dīdivim” and says that the word is used with meaning of ‘dyotamāna’.

Yours

Sharon

Dear colleagues,

I am hoping that you can help my students and me with ṚV 1.1.8.  There is a word describing Agni: dī́divim (MAcS of stem dī́divi), meaning 'shining'. We can see the root dī, which forms stems in both dīdī and dīdi. What part of speech is dī́divi and how it is formed?

Thanks in advance.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Yours sincerely,

McComas
