गन्धर्व m. a गन्धर्व[though in later times the गन्धर्वs are regarded as a class , yet in RV. rarely more than one is mentioned ; he is designated as the heavenly गन्धर्व( दिव्य ग्RV. ix , 86 , 36 and x , 139 , 5 ), and is also called विश्वा-वसु( RV. x , 85 , 21 and 22 ; 139 , 4 and 5 ) and वायु-केश(in pl. RV. iii , 38 , 6 ) ; his habitation is the sky , or the region of the air and the heavenly waters ( RV. i , 22 , 14 ; viii , 77 , 5 ; ix , 85 , 12 ; 86 , 36 ; x , 10 , 4 AV. ii , 2 , 3 ) ; his especial duty is to guard the heavenly सोम( RV. ix , 83 , 4 and 85 , 12 ) , which the gods obtain through his intervention ( RV. AV. vii , 73 , 3 ; See. RV. i , 22 , 14 ) ; it is obtained for the human race by इन्द्र, who conquers the गन्धर्वand takes it by force ( RV. viii , 1 , 11 and 77 , 5 ) ; the heavenly गन्धर्वis supposed to be a good physician , because the सोमis considered as the best medicine ; possibly , however , the word सोमoriginally denoted not the beverage so called , but the moon , and the heavenly गन्धर्वmay have been the genius or tutelary deity of the moon ; in one passage ( RV. ix , 86 , 36 ) the heavenly गन्धर्वand the सोमare identified ; he is also regarded as one of the genii who regulate the course of the Sun's horses ( i , 163 , 2 ; x , 177 , 2 ; See. 135 , 5 ) ; he knows and makes known the secrets of heaven and divine truths generally ( x , 139 , 5 and 6 AV. ii , 1 , 2 ; xx , 128 , 3 VS. xi , 1 ; xxxii , 9 ) ; he is the parent of the first pair of human beings , यमand यमी( RV. x , 10 , 4 ) , and has a peculiar mystical power over women and a right to possess them ( RV. x , 85 , 21 and 22 ; 40 and 41 ) ; for this reason he is invoked in marriage ceremonies ( AV. xiv , 2 , 35 and 36 ) ; ecstatic states of mind and possession by evil spirits are supposed to be derived from the heavenly गन्धर्व(See. -गृहीत, -ग्रह) ; the गन्धर्वs as a class have the same characteristic features as the one गन्धर्व; they live in the sky ( RV. AV. S3Br. xiv ) , guard the सोम( RV. ix , 113 , 3 S3Br. iii AitBr. i , 27 ), are governed by वरुण(just as the आप्सरसs are governed by सोम) S3Br. xiii A1s3vS3r. x , 7 , 3 , know the best medicines ( AV. viii , 7 , 23 VS. xii , 98 ), regulate the course of the asterisms ( AV. xiii , 1 , 23 BhP. iv , 29 , 21 ; hence twenty-seven are mentioned VS. ix , 7 ), follow after women and are desirous of intercourse with them ( AV. S3Br. iii ) ; as soon as a girl becomes marriageable , she belongs to सोम, the गन्धर्वs , and अग्नि( Gr2ihya1s. ii , 19 f. Pan5cat. Sus3r. ) ; the wives of the गन्धर्वs are the आप्सरसs (See. गन्धर्वा-प्सरस्) , and like them the गन्धर्वs are invoked in gambling with dice ( AV. vii , 109 , 5 ) ; they are also feared as evil beings together with the राक्षसs , किमीदिन्s , पिशाचs , etc. , amulets being worn as a protection against them ( AV. Sus3r. ) ; they are said to have revealed the वेदs to वाच्( S3Br. iii ; See. Pa1rGr2. ii , 12 , 2 ), and are called the preceptors of the ऋषिs ( S3Br. xi ) ; पुरूरवस्is called among them ( ib. ) ; in epic poetry the गन्धर्वs are the celestial musicians or heavenly singers (See. RV. x , 177 , 2 ) who form the orchestra at the banquets of the gods , and they belong together with the आप्सरसs to इन्द्र's heaven , sharing also in his battles ( Ya1jn5. i , 71 MBh. Hariv. etc. ; See. RTL. p.238 ) ; in the more systematic mythology the गन्धर्वs constitute one of the classes into which the higher creation is divided ( i.e. gods , manes , गन्धर्वs AV. xi , 5 , 2 ; or gods , असुरs , गन्धर्वs , men TS. vii , 8 , 25 , 2 ; See. S3Br. x ; or gods , men , गन्धर्वs , आप्सरसs , सर्पs , and manes AitBr. iii , 31 , 5 ; for other enumerations See. Nir. iii , 8 Mn. i , 37 [ RTL. p.237 ] and iii , 196;vii , 23 ; xii , 47 Nal. etc. ) ; divine and human गन्धर्वs are distinguished ( TUp. ii , 8 ; the divine or देव-गन्धर्वs are enumerated MBh. i , 2550 ff. and 4810 ff. ) ; another passage names 11 classes of गन्धर्वs ( TA1r. i , 9 , 3 ) ; the chief or leader of the गन्धर्वs is named चित्र-रथ( Bhag. x , 26 ) ; they are called the creatures of प्रजापति( Mn. i , 37 ) or of ब्रह्मा( Hariv. 11793 ) or of कश्यप( 11850 ) or of the मुनिs ( MBh. i , 2550 Hariv. 11553 ) or of प्राधा( MBh. i , 2556 ) or of अरिष्टा( Hariv. 234 VP. i , 21 ) or of वाच्( PadmaP. ) ; with जैनs the गन्धर्वs constitute one of the eight classes of the व्यन्तरs]
