Etymology 1
From earlier एध m (édha), with identical nominative singular, from the root इध् (idh, “to kindle”). The same change of declension happened in Ancient Greek αἶθος (aîthos).[1]
Pronunciation
- (Vedic) IPA(key): /ɐ́j.dʱɐs/
- (Classical Sanskrit) IPA(key): /eː.d̪ʱɐs̪/
Noun
एध॑स् • (édhas) stem, n (root इध्) [2]
- fuel, combustion
- c. 400 BCE, Bhagavad Gītā 4.37:
- यथ्ऐधांसि समिद्धोऽग्निर्भस्मसात्कुरुतेऽर्जुन ।
ज्ञानाग्निः सर्वकर्माणि भस्मसात्कुरुते तथा ॥- yathaidhāṃsi samiddhoʼgnirbhasmasātkuruteʼrjuna.
jñānāgniḥ sarvakarmāṇi bhasmasātkurute tathā.
- 1969 translation by Robert Charles Zaehner
- As a kindled fire reduces its fuel to ashes, so does the fire of wisdom reduce all works to ashes.
- yathaidhāṃsi samiddhoʼgnirbhasmasātkuruteʼrjuna.
- यथ्ऐधांसि समिद्धोऽग्निर्भस्मसात्कुरुतेऽर्जुन ।
