Pastyā (fem. pl.) is a word occurring in several passages of the Rigveda.[१] Roth[२] ascribes to it the meaning of ‘house’ or ‘dwelling,’ in the wide sense of the term, as well as that of the ‘family’ living in the house; and this view is accepted by Zimmer.[३] On the other hand, Pischel[४] finds in two of the passages[५] usually referred to Pastyā the neuter Pastya, which appears in Pastya-sad and in Pastyā-vant (where the length of the second syllable is not primitive¤), and which is certainly found in the Rigveda[६] in the metaphorical sense of ‘dwelling,’ ascribed to it in the Naighaṇṭuka.[७] In the other passages[८] he thinks the word means ‘rivers’ or ‘waters’; in particular, where Soma in the middle of the Pastyās[९] is spoken of, the sees a reference to Kurukṣetra, with its several rivers,[१०] Āpayā, Dṛṣadvatī, and Sarasvatī (cf. 2. Pastyāvant). In some passages[११] he sees in Pastyā the proper name of a stream, just as Sindhu primarily means ‘river,’ then the ‘Indus.’

  5. vi. 49. 9;
    vii. 97, 5, where the sense is ‘householder’ (gṛha-stha or gṛhin, as Sāyaṇa renders it).
  6. x. 96, 10. 11. In x. 96, 10, Roth takes pastyoḥ to denote the two parts of the Soma press, but Pischel, 2, 211, accepts Sāyaṇa's rendering ‘heaven and earth.’ In the compounds tripastya of Agni, Rv. viii. 39, 8;
    vājapastya of Pūṣan, vi. 58, 2, of Soma, ix. 98, 12;
    and vīra-pastya, v. 50, 4, the primitive word may very well be pastya, not pastyā.
  7. iii. 4, misquoted by Sāyaṇa on Rv. i. 151, 2, as applying to pastyā, whereas it really refers to pastya.
