Rasa
in the texts
Rigveda
A mythic river poured upon the Aśvins' horses.
The Sindhu poured the Rasā upon your horses;
How did you cross the waters of the Rasā?
A swift leap in fear helped us across—thus I crossed the waters of the Rasā.
Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
A mythic cosmic river named alongside the ocean in the cosmogonic hymn.
He of whose greatness all the Himavat mountains declare the ocean together with Rasā — whose are the directions and the five divine quarters — to that god let us offer with oblation.
Sāmaveda
A river asked to receive the bull (Soma).
May the river Rasā receive the bull.
