Guest guest Report post Posted February 29, 2004 I want to know the meaning of word "Daitya Sudham". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinayakan 0 Report post Posted February 29, 2004 This is accusative of Daitya sudha, correctly spelled as "daitya-sudhaa". Sudhaa is nectar, another word for "piiyuuSha". Daitya is a demon, a raakShasa. Originally daityas are the sons of "Diti" (DaiteyaH). Diti litterally means: cutting, splitting, dividing. Diti is the daughter of Daksha and wife of Kashyapa. But Daitya means also demon in general. So Daitya-sudha (samaasa of daityaanaam sudhaa) means "the nectar of the demons". See Sanskrit spelling in the attachment.

gokulkr 1 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 So "Daitya Sudham" applies to which God ? (Shiva or Vishnu) Theres a "Daitya Sudham Temple" near "Somanatha" Temple in Saurashtra - Gujarat. So thats why i am asking. I am a sourashtrian. My Community Deity is hypothesized as Deity of "Daitya Sudham Temple". But i am in Tamilnadu now. Only our ancestors lived in Gujarat. So please reply correctly. /images/graemlins/smile.gif OM NAMAH SIVAYA /images/graemlins/smile.gif OM NAMO VENKATESHAYA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
