Guest guest Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 When looking for something in Sanskrit dictionary, I came across these two words. kaTakaTa - name of shiva kaTaaTa~Nka - name of shiva Can someome please explain how these shabdA's are particularly related to shiva? Or how did they become names of shiva? Why are these not names of viShNu or devI or any other devata? Also kaTakaTA - ind. an onomatopoetic word (supposed to represent the noise of rubbing) MBh. Dhu1rtas. ; [cf. %{kiTakiTAya}.] Any explanations or pointers in this direction will be much appreciated. Rgds sa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
